"Portrait of Gaspare Mola" is a sculptural work by Alessandro Algardi, an Italian high-Baroque sculptor active in Rome during the first half of the 17th century. This bust is a significant example of Algardi's portraiture, which is known for its realism and psychological depth. The subject, Gaspare Mola, is less well-documented in historical records, but the work itself reflects the artistic conventions and the social context of the period in which it was created.

Algardi, born in Bologna in 1598, was a contemporary of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and while he may not have achieved the same level of fame as Bernini, his work was highly regarded by his peers and patrons. Algardi's approach to portraiture was characterized by a more restrained and classical style compared to the dynamic expressiveness of Bernini's sculptures. The "Portrait of Gaspare Mola" exemplifies Algardi's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the sitter's character.

The bust is crafted from marble and showcases Algardi's skill in rendering the textures of skin, hair, and clothing. The portrayal of Mola is dignified, with a focus on the sitter's facial expression and gaze, which suggests a sense of introspection and gravitas. The work's date of creation is not precisely known, but it is generally attributed to Algardi's mature period, when he had fully developed his style and was receiving commissions from influential figures in Roman society.

As with many works of art from this era, the provenance and historical context of the "Portrait of Gaspare Mola" provide insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of 17th-century Italy. The bust is an important piece for understanding the evolution of sculptural portraiture during the Baroque period and Algardi's contribution to this genre.

The "Portrait of Gaspare Mola" is held in a collection or museum, which preserves and exhibits the piece for public viewing and scholarly study. The artwork continues to be the subject of art historical research, contributing to the broader appreciation and understanding of Algardi's oeuvre and the Baroque tradition of portraiture.
