That is a Batoni's portrait of Count Kirill Grigorjewitsch Razumovsky. The Grand Manner differs in that it was conscious of the sitter's surroundings with a goal of distinguishing the sitter as intelligent and enlightened. The techniques were adapted from studying the Italian Renaissance masters. Earlier portrait styles tended to also want to flatter their sitter but they were usually put in a static pose and usually in an interior background.Heather Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544318718074061879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-5370717564255193152010-05-18T06:08:30.584-04:002010-05-18T06:08:30.584-04:00I love Grand Manner style, it made the sitters loo...I love Grand Manner style, it made the sitters look so interesting that one would desire to have had the oportunity to know them.Ana Trigo https://www.blogger.com/profile/12429871727141493385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-82727315786340509832010-05-18T02:54:55.328-04:002010-05-18T02:54:55.328-04:00I love it!
