Italian portraiture has undergone a fascinating evolution over the centuries. From the austere and idealized portraits of the Renaissance to the expressive and realistic depictions of the Baroque period and beyond, the art form has continually evolved.

During the Renaissance, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael dominated the scene with their masterful portraits. These portraits were characterized by a perfect balance between realism and idealism, with the subjects often presented in an idealized form.

During the 17th century, during the Baroque period, Italian portraiture experienced a shift toward more expressive and realistic representation. Artists like Caravaggio revolutionized the art form by using dramatic lighting and intensifying the emotions of the subjects they portrayed. These Baroque portraits were often more vivid and dynamic than their Renaissance predecessors.
