Portrait of Alessandro Manzoni
Painting by Francesco Hayez
Portrait of Alessandro Manzoni is an 1841 oil-on-canvas portrait of Alessandro Manzoni by the Italian painter Francesco Hayez, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera.[1][2] It was commissioned in 1840 by Manzoni's second wife countess Teresa Borri Stampa and his son Stefano. After fifteen sittings the painter completed the work on 26 June 1841.[3] Eight years later Teresa commissioned a portrait of herself by the same artist.
