"Portrait of a Man" c. 1500 is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Ambrogio de Predis. The work is believed to have been created around the year 1500, during a period when de Predis was known to be active in Milan and closely associated with Leonardo da Vinci. Ambrogio de Predis was an accomplished portraitist and illuminator, and his collaboration with Leonardo on the commission of the "Virgin of the Rocks" has been well documented, which adds to the historical significance of his solo works.

The painting depicts a bust-length figure of a man, turned slightly to the left, set against a dark, neutral background that serves to highlight the subject's features and attire. The man is dressed in the fashion of the Milanese court, with a finely detailed costume that suggests a status of wealth or nobility. His expression is introspective and reserved, characteristic of the era's portraiture, which often focused on conveying the inner life and status of the sitter rather than a mere likeness.

"Portrait of a Man" is executed in oil on wood panel, a common medium for the time, which allowed for a meticulous rendering of detail and a rich palette. The painting showcases de Predis's skill in capturing textures and materials, from the softness of the skin to the intricate work on the clothing and accessories. The precise date of the painting, as well as the identity of the sitter, remains unknown, which is not uncommon for portraits from this period.

The attribution to Ambrogio de Predis has been a subject of scholarly debate, with some experts suggesting the influence of Leonardo's style in the rendering of the face and the atmospheric perspective. However, the distinct manner in which de Predis handled the details of the costume and the sitter's physiognomy supports the attribution to him.

"Portrait of a Man" c. 1500 is an important work within Ambrogio de Predis's oeuvre, offering insight into the artistic environment of Milan at the turn of the 16th century and the cross-pollination of ideas between artists like de Predis and Leonardo. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of the Italian Renaissance.
