Painting Description
"Portrait of a Young Furleger with Loose Hair" is a painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to around 1500. This artwork is notable for its detailed depiction of the subject, a young man whose profession is indicated by the title "Furleger," a term that refers to a furrier or a person involved in the trade and preparation of fur. The painting is executed in oil on wood panel, a medium Dürer was adept at, which allowed him to capture the fine textures and subtle gradations of tone that characterize his portraiture.
The young man in the portrait is depicted with an introspective gaze, his hair loosely falling over his forehead, which was a departure from the more formal and structured hairstyles typically seen in portraits of the time. This feature, along with the directness of the sitter's gaze, suggests a level of intimacy and informality that is often associated with personal or private commissions. The portrait's size and the half-length format further support the idea that it was intended for a domestic setting rather than a public space.
Dürer's skillful use of light and shadow not only models the young man's features with a lifelike presence but also highlights the texture of his clothing and, in particular, the fur garment that signifies his occupation. The attention to detail in the rendering of the fur reflects Dürer's interest in nature and his ability to observe and reproduce the world with accuracy and sensitivity.
While the identity of the young man is not definitively known, the painting is a valuable example of Dürer's portraiture and provides insight into the social and cultural context of the time. It showcases the artist's mastery of the oil medium and his capacity to convey the character and profession of his subjects through portraiture. The painting is held in a private collection, and as such, it is not as widely known or accessible as some of Dürer's other works. However, it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of one of the most significant artists of the Northern Renaissance.
