The Lomellini Family
''The Lomellini Family'' is a portrait painting by the Flemish Baroque painter Anthony van Dyck. A group portrait of a landed Genoese family, it is in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. Painting Van Dyck spent the years 1621–1627 in the city of Genoa, painting portraits for the city's wealthiest and most prominent patrons. This work is considered his grandest and most encompassing. It was commissioned by Giacomo Lomellini, the Doge of Genoa, and depicts his family, though he himself does not appear in the work. This is because incumbent doges were forbidden from being depicted, to prevent self-promotion. Lomellini's two eldest sons stand next to his second wife, and to her left are their two youngest children. It was acquired by the Royal Institution in 1830, and transferred to the gallery in 1859.

Portraits By Anthony Van Dyck
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face is always predominant. In arts, a portrait may be represented as half body and even full body. If the subject in full body better represents personality and mood, this type of presentation may be chosen. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer, but portrait may be represented as a profile (from aside) and 3/4. History Prehistorical portraiture Plastered human skulls were reconstructed human skulls that were made in the ancient Levant between 9000 and 6000 BC in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.

Giacomo Lomellini
Giacomo Lomellini (Genoa, 1570 – Genoa, April 1, 1652) was the 97th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography His election as doge took place in a particular period for the Republic of Genoa.
