Like most of the women Moroni painted, the sitter wears clothing and accessories that display her wealth and status, and there are no identifying attributes or inscriptions. Her pendant cross is suspended from a pearl necklace. The sitter was recently proposed to be Isotta Brembati but the identification is difficult to confirm as the physiognomic similarities to the other portraits of Isotta are relatively generic. The sitter’s style of dress is similar to that in Moroni’s Pace Rivola Spini, which suggests that the present portrait was painted late in the artist’s career. #moronimondays #moroni #frickcollection

The portrait of the sculptor Alessandro Vittoria was presumably painted early in Moroni’s career, when both artists were in Trent in the early 1550s. It shares a number of qualities with another of Moroni’s portraits, The Tailor, above all the portrayal of the figure as if suspended in an act related to his profession, here addressing the viewer as if interrupted while presenting, studying, or working on a sculpture. Vittoria’s sleeve is rolled up to reveal his muscular forearm, as if to suggest the physical strength that sculpting requires. Vittoria owned at least five painted portraits of himself, and Moroni’s is probably one of two large paintings listed in the inventory of the sculptor’s possessions made after his death.

Moroni, Lucia Albani Avogadro, called La Dama in Rosso (The Lady in Red), ca. 1554–57, oil on canvas. @nationalgallery
___
Daughter of Gian Gerolamo Albani, the collaterale generale of Venice, Lucia was celebrated by her contemporaries as a talented poet. Giovanni Bressani dedicated a poem to her, and the poet Bernardo Tasso praised her in his verses. However, nothing of this aspect of her identity is conveyed in this portrait, which centers instead on the exquisite crimson satin overgown that gives the painting its popular title. This work is one of only three full-length portraits of women painted by the artist.
In honor of #NationalTextilesDay... we highlight a 16th-century Italian or Spanish example currently on loan from @metmuseum. Shown within the context of #MoroniattheFrick, this brocaded velvet fragment allows the viewer to discover the physical and visual qualities of the 3-demensional fabric translated by the artist into paint. The production of textiles like these was labor-intensive and extremely costly. For example (swipe for detail), each filé (metal strip wrapped around a silk core) would have been wrapped by hand and the loops raised individually as the filé was brocaded (or woven) in, creating the characteristic bouclé effect of raised hoops. #frickcollection #themet #moroni

I've been asked many times which is my favorite temple. It's hard to answer the question because there's a variety of categories that could apply. Is it my favorite because of a spiritual experience, or is it architecturally my favorite, or is it my favorite because I was sealed there?
I am reluctant to answer the question in detail because there's a legitimate reason for every temple I've been to, to be my favorite. But If I were to average every reason together, the Laie Hawaii temple would be in the top 3 for me.
As a child, my aunt lived in Laie. She was a professor at BYU Hawaii (Church College of Hawaii). Her house was literally next door to the temple. We took a vacation to Hawaii and stayed at her house, which unbeknownst to me, President Gordon B. Hinckley was staying next door. However, he was not the prophet at the time.
I have many fond memories of Laie as a child, from the temple grounds, Hukilau Beach, the Polynesian Cultural Center and everything in between. Since, I have made it an effort to revisit as often as I can.
This is the Celestial version of the Laie Temple as part of my recent series.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for your support. -Alan
This is believed to be the earliest of Moroni’s independent portraits of women, which number about fifteen of the nearly one hundred twenty-five portraits attributed to him today. The sitter was identified in the nineteenth century as the Bergamasque noblewoman and poet Isotta Brembati. #MoroniMondays #MoroniattheFrick #frickcollection #moroni @accademia_carrara
