Verified profile

Initiated to a diplomatic career, Michele Coronini in the years immediately following his marriage to Sophie de Fagan, celebrated in Paris in 1812, was often on mission abroad. Between 1815 and 1816, he stayed for a few months in Naples, and during the return trip he certainly made a stop in Rome for at least two weeks. It was on this occasion that he had the opportunity to commission his portrait to the Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), considered, together with Antonio Canova, one of the most important interpreters of the neoclassical taste. The dating of the work is in fact confirmed in the plaster model which is kept at the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen and which bears the inscription Rome 1816.
