Giovanni Battista Moroni
Jonathan Jones of The Guardian explores the reasons why Giovanni Battista Moroni’s portrait 'The Tailor' is one of the greatest paintings in London.
Moroni’s 'The Tailor' hangs in the National Gallery, but is often overlooked by visitors in favour of Hans Holbein's 'Ambassadors' or Jan van Eyck's 'Arnolfini Wedding'. Jonathan Jones explains why 'The Tailor' is so revolutionary, and why it’s time to rediscover Moroni’s superb portraits.
