MASTERPIECE #3586
Giovanni Battista Moroni, Italian
Noah Wyle Doing Shakespeare, 1560
Oil on canvas
/// Right hand dangling limp, (but with grace),
Alessandri displays his “game face.”
He is serious, tough
and prepared to get rough.
Left hand rests on his sword— just in case.
/// Prospero Alessandri’s the sort
who has powerful allies at court.
He was known to have dressed
with great style, but few guessed
that he “early-adopted” the skort.
/// Sleeveless jacket is breakin’ new ground.
Made of velvet, (the blackest around).
Attractive to women,
it’s snug, and yet slimmin’
and it proves he’s not jerkin around.
/// His manner’s deceptively mild
for a gent so impressively styled.
Nimble tailors who stitch
sumptuous fabrics this rich
have clothed this guy since he was a child.
