Portrait of Andrea Doria (Sebastiano del Piombo)

The Portrait of Andrea Doria is a painting finished c. 1526 by the Italian High Renaissance painter Sebastiano Del Piombo. It was painted after Sebastiano had fully mastered his Roman style.^[1] The painting depicts Andrea Doria, a famed naval commander from Genoa. Doria had rescued the city from French control and was made a prince as a reward. The naval symbols on the relief at the bottom of the painting emphasize Doria's rank of Admiral.^[2] The imitation antique relief at the bottom of the painting was likely included at the wishes of the patron.^[3]
