1529 1568 Antiquarian Historian Larmess Oval Skull Cap Onofrio
EDITORS COMMENTS
Onofrio Panvinio, an Italian antiquarian and historian, is depicted in this evocative oval portrait, created around 1568. Born in Perugia in 1529, Panvinio was a prolific scholar and writer, renowned for his expertise in ancient Roman history and topography. He is shown here wearing a skull cap, or larmess, a traditional head covering commonly worn by scholars and intellectuals during the Renaissance. The image captures Panvinio in the prime of his career, with a thoughtful expression and a furrowed brow, suggesting deep concentration and intellectual rigor. His hands are resting on a large, open book, filled with notes and annotations, further emphasizing his dedication to the study of history and antiquities. Panvinio's contributions to the field of ancient Roman history were significant. He was one of the first scholars to systematically study and document the archaeological sites of Rome and its surrounding areas, and he wrote extensively on the history of the Roman Republic and the early Christian period. His most famous works include "De Situ Urbis," a comprehensive study of the topography of ancient Rome, and "Vitae Paparum Romanorum," a biographical dictionary of the popes. Despite his many accomplishments, Panvinio's reputation was tarnished by his involvement in a controversial dispute with the antiquarian Pirro Ligorio over the authorship of a series of ancient inscriptions. The controversy raged for years and damaged Panvinio's reputation, but he continued to work tirelessly on his research and writing until his death in 1574. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable scholar and historian, whose work helped to shape our understanding of the ancient world. With his furrowed brow and open book, Panvinio seems to be inviting us to join him on a journey of discovery and learning.
