"A Man with a Greyhound" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, dating from the late 16th century. This work is significant as it exemplifies Carracci's skill in portraiture and his contribution to the development of the Baroque style in painting. The painting depicts a life-sized, three-quarter-length portrait of a man standing beside a greyhound, suggesting a relationship of companionship and possibly indicating the social status or personal interests of the subject.

Annibale Carracci, along with his brother Agostino and cousin Ludovico, played a pivotal role in the art world of their time by founding the Accademia degli Incamminati in Bologna, which promoted the study of nature and the classical tradition as the basis of art. This approach was a reaction against the mannerist style prevalent at the time and laid the groundwork for the naturalism that would characterize Baroque art.

The identity of the man in the painting is not definitively known, which adds an element of mystery to the work. The presence of the greyhound is a notable feature, as such animals were often associated with nobility and hunting, and their inclusion in portraits was a common way to signify the sitter's aristocratic status or personal virtues such as fidelity and speed.

"A Man with a Greyhound" is celebrated for its realistic depiction of the figures and the use of light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect, a technique that Carracci and his academy were instrumental in developing. The painting's composition, with its strong diagonal lines and the contrast between the textures of the man's clothing and the dog's fur, demonstrates Carracci's mastery of form and his ability to convey a sense of life and character in his subjects.

The artwork is part of Annibale Carracci's mature period, during which he created some of his most acclaimed works. "A Man with a Greyhound" is often discussed in the context of Carracci's influence on later artists and his role in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period in European art. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities as well as its historical significance as a representation of the evolving styles and techniques of the time.
