Francesco Sassetti and his son Teodoro.c.1488. Tempera on panel, 84.5 x 63.8 cm. The Jules Bache Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Domenico Ghirlandaio (Florence, c.1448-1494)
It is most likely that Francesco Sassetti (1421-1490) –banker (not very successful as a general banker later in his life, indeed!) of the powerful Medici family– commissioned Ghirlandio to paint this unusual double portraiture of himself and his son Teodoro which is one of the earliest examples of such portraiture in Renaissance Italy. This Teodoro could be either a posthumous portrait of Sassetti’s first son (who died in 1479) or a portrait of the second son of the same name (born in 1479). This type of frontal presentation of the main character was, at the time, not widely spread; it was really a new feature to be taken into account in the painting landscape of Ghirlandaio’s works.
The landscape background is a simplified version of that in Ghirlandaio's fresco in Santa Trinita of St Francis renouncing his Earthly Goods; and Francesco’s head has been heavily repainted throughout the centuries, not his son’s which is well preserved. The city with the lake is thought to be that of Geneva, where Francesco worked for the Medici.
In a couple of exhibitions of the painting at the end of the XIX century (The Royal Academy and the New Gallery, 1893) it was said that “that its state of conservation was deplored” in fact “…so clouded was the picture by restoration, that it had lost every impression of individuality” (C.J. Ffoulkes, 1894)
Netherlandish influence on this painting is to be noticed in the lakeside quays with towers, these type of motifs were also part and parcel of Botticelli and other Florentine artists.
In the company of humanist such as Marsilio Ficinio Francesco would develop his interest in humanist themes and an aesthetic gusto for all things artistic, as can be seen in his collection of manuscripts and his magnificent villa La Pietra, which, like all of the patrons of the arts, helped him show his wealth and prestige among the wealthiest member of Renaissance Florence.Jesús Lorenzo Vieites
