"A Portrait of Cardinal Marco Gallo; Also A Portrait of Pope Innocent XI by Another Hand (2)" is a pair of artworks attributed to the Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Battista Gaulli, commonly known as Baciccio. These portraits represent significant religious figures of the 17th century, showcasing Baciccio's skill in capturing the dignified and spiritual essence of his subjects.

The first portrait, depicting Cardinal Marco Gallo, is an example of Baciccio's adeptness at rendering the intricate details of ecclesiastical attire and the nuanced expressions of high-ranking church officials. Cardinal Gallo, a notable figure within the Catholic Church, is portrayed with a sense of gravitas and introspection, reflective of his status and character.

The second portrait, believed to be of Pope Innocent XI, is attributed to "another hand," suggesting that while it may have been created in Baciccio's workshop or under his influence, it was likely completed by a different artist. Pope Innocent XI, born Benedetto Odescalchi, served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1676 to 1689 and was known for his reformist zeal and efforts to combat nepotism within the Vatican.

These portraits not only exemplify the portraiture style of the Baroque period, with their dramatic use of light and shadow and psychological depth, but also serve as historical documents of the ecclesiastical hierarchy in the late 17th century. The works are a testament to the cultural and religious milieu of the time, as well as to the artistic environment in which Baciccio operated, where his studio produced portraits for the most influential figures of the Roman Catholic Church.

While the exact dates of creation and current locations of these portraits are not specified, they remain important contributions to the oeuvre of Giovanni Battista Gaulli. Baciccio's legacy as a prominent painter in Rome, particularly known for his frescoes in the Church of the Gesù, is further cemented by these intimate and revealing depictions of church leaders.
