jacquemard: Giovanni Battista Moroni - Portrait of a Man holding a Letter. The National Gallery, London “Moroni…kept himself open and empathetic to his subjects, even when they are perhaps a little tense and annoyed at having to be still for so long; even when they are analyzing him and by extension the viewer. On an almost subliminal level, one senses that Moroni’s subjects are aware that time is passing, and there are a lot more rewarding things one can be doing besides getting your portrait done.” —John Yao on Hyperallergic -- source link
