The Knight in Pink is an oil on canvas painting by Italian painter Giovanni Battista Moroni, from 1560.

[1] The knight in pink of the portrait was identified as Gian Gerolamo Grumelli, aged 24 years old, of Bergamo by the historian Giuseppe Locatelli Milesi, from the description by Foresti of the Palazzo Moroni: "(...) located at the head of the main staircase, the portrait of Giangerolamo in full figure dressed in Spanish style (...) admirable creation of the illustrious brush of Gianbattista Moroni from Bergamo".

The sitter was a person of considerable importance in Bergamo, since he was president of the Paci Court, of the hospital, and of the Pio place of the Magnifica Pietà.

It is worth considering that, in addition to perhaps being favorable to the Spanish party, he also had excellent relations with representatives of the local church.

[2] The clothing is particularly striking: he wears a jacket, with a short collar at the waist, from which a light closed belly of the black belt emerges, while the trousers are in the Castilian style, which are lengthened with elements box-neck up to the knees, and the stockings are supported by garters.
