The Lomellini Family

The Lomellini Family is a portrait painting by the Flemish Baroque painter Anthony van Dyck.

A group portrait of a landed Genoese family, it is in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.

It was commissioned by Giacomo Lomellini, the Doge of Genoa, and depicts his family, though he himself does not appear in the work.

This is because incumbent doges were forbidden from being depicted, to prevent self-promotion.

Lomellini's two eldest sons stand next to his second wife, and to her left are their two youngest children.
