Kupite tiskanino obraza Old Man in a Brown Habit

This image of an old man brings to mind the Italian teste di carattere or the Dutch troniesshowing a ‘type’ rather than an actual person. It is also reminiscent of similar depictions of the heads of philosophers, saints and apostles (often painted in series) known both from 17th- and 18th-century Italian, as well as Northern schools. It may have been prepared—but ultimately not used—by Bacciarelli for one of the historical paintings or plafonds decorating the apartments in the Royal Castle.According to Ludwik Hass however, the old bearded man in the Łazienkipainting is probably the same person whom Bacciarelli depicted as Aristotle in the Allegory of Wisdom on one of his four overdoors of c. 1777 in the Old Audience Chamber at the Royal Castle in Warsaw (L. Hass, Sekta farmazonii warszawskiej. Pierwsze stulecie wolnomularstwa w Warszawie (1721–1821),Warszawa 1980, figs. 21 and 22 and notes). According to Hass, Bacciarelli gave Aristotle the features of Stanisław August’s former tutor, Jean Luc Louis de Toux de Salvert. He is shown talking to his pupil, young Alexander‒a symbolic figure of young Stanisław August. The Łazienki portrait of an old man would therefore be a likeness of Toux de Salvert.

Marcello Bacciarelli: A Life in Art

Born: Rome, Italy (February 16, 1731)
Died: 1818

Marcello Bacciarelli was a significant Italian-born painter who flourished during the late Baroque and Neoclassical periods. His career spanned across Italy, Poland, and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, leaving behind a legacy of portraits and decorative works that reflect his adaptability to changing artistic styles and royal patronage.

Bacciarelli began his artistic journey in Rome, studying under Marco Benefial, a prominent Italian painter known for his proto-Neoclassical style.
In 1750, he received a recommendation from architect Gaetano Chiaveri, leading to his recruitment to Dresden, Saxony, where he served Elected King Augustus III of Poland. This marked the beginning of his long association with Polish royalty.
During his early career, Bacciarelli was significantly influenced by Bernardo Bellotto, another Italian painter whose work shaped his artistic development.
A pivotal moment in his personal life occurred when he met and married Friederike Richter, a woman painter specializing in miniature portraits. Their collaborative relationship proved crucial to both their artistic growth.
