Porträt des Pater Andreas Boulengier

Portrait of Dom Andreas Boulengier

Probably made towards the end of Pourbus's the Elder's career, this painting is of exceedingly high quality: the paint is beautifully worked wet-in-wet, and the artist has conveyed the gaze of the handsome sitter in such a way that it stops the viewer in their tracks. A similarly arresting picture by the artist's equally talented son hangs nearby.
