The painting entitled “Ritratto di gentiluomo” (Portrait of a Gentleman) is by Altobello Melone from Cremona.

You’ll see an attractive, pensive young man, dressed in the latest fashion, as a storm is brewing in the background and other figures are passing by.

The man gripping a dagger as he looks into the distance was once believed to be Cesare Borgia, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI.
