Abstract

In a portrait of the Venetian statesman Paolo Tiepolo, presumed to have been painted in 1578 by Tintoretto, a red discoloration is present on the left forehead. This study was carried out to clarify whether the finding in the painting represented an injury or a dermatological problem. On the basis of intensive art historical research and on account of the presentation of the homogeneous intensive red coloration on the left forehead area, the most probable explanation is a port-wine stain. Historical texts indicate that predecessors of the subject of the painting also had such capillary malformations.
