Title: Portrait of a Man
Description: Portrait of a Man is a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina.This portrait, finished c. 1475, is housed in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, in Madrid, Spain. Among Antonello's portraits, it is among the most expressively animated ones. The subject, a young man, is drawn from a quite near point of view, with the usual skill in details rendering. The picture has been approximately dated to the early 1470s, basing on the typical "zuccotto" headgear, a fashion more characteristic of 1460s Italy.
