"Ritratto di Prelato" (Portrait of a Prelate) is a pastel portrait by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, one of the most prominent and influential portraitists of the 18th century, particularly known for her work in the medium of pastel. Carriera's mastery of pastel techniques contributed significantly to the medium's popularity during the Rococo period. The portrait is a testament to her skill in capturing the delicate nuances of her subject's character and social standing through her use of light, color, and texture.

The work depicts a prelate, a high-ranking member of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, which could include bishops, abbots, or other senior clergy. Carriera's ability to convey the sitter's status and personality is evident in the portrait's composition and the rendering of the subject's attire and expression. The prelate is typically shown in his ecclesiastical garments, which would have been rendered with meticulous attention to the fabrics' textures and the subtle gradations of color characteristic of Carriera's pastel work.

While the exact date of creation for "Ritratto di Prelato" is not well-documented, Rosalba Carriera's most productive period was during the early 18th century, when she gained international fame for her portraits. Her clientele included royalty and aristocrats from across Europe, and her influence extended through her membership in the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the ecclesiastical and social hierarchies of the time, as well as the role of portraiture in reinforcing social identities. As with many of Carriera's works, "Ritratto di Prelato" likely served both as a personal memento for the sitter and as a demonstration of his status and refinement.

Today, Rosalba Carriera's works are held in high esteem and can be found in major art collections and museums around the world. "Ritratto di Prelato" remains an important piece within her oeuvre, exemplifying the elegance and intimacy that characterize her portraits and the Rococo style more broadly.
