General Notes | Michelangelo was an apprentice of his. |
A dual portrait. A grandfather (perhaps) gazing upon a grandson, and vice versa, in a clear moment of happy communion. The old man has a disfigured nose, the young boy is unblemished. There is a bonus landscape scene in the upper right corner through a window portraying a peaceful countryside with mountain and road.
Quiet familial love. (A grandfather (perhaps) gazing upon a grandson, and vice versa, in a clear moment of happy communion.)
Human companionship or family closeness is real.
