Nicoletto Giganti

Description


Second on the list was renaissance fencing master Nicoletto Giganti (c.1550-c.1622), whose notable work in rapier fencing "Scola, overo teatro" and "Libro secondo" are still studied to this day in various HEMA clubs. 

This portrait was based on the frontispiece of "Scola, overo teatro" and was particularly noticeable that despite the name, he was a very small man (this is made clear through the size of his head which I kept large in order to maintain a distinguishable feature). 

Below the inscription reads

"Nicoletto Giganti

Rui Ferreira

Fecit

MMXVII"

See you soon for the next on the list, Salvator Fabris
