"A Young Man (1474)" is a portrait painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina. This artwork is notable for its striking realism and the psychological depth it conveys, which is characteristic of Antonello's pioneering approach to portraiture. Painted in 1474, the piece is an oil on panel and measures 27 cm by 35 cm. It is currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

The subject of the painting is an unidentified young man, depicted against a dark, neutral background that serves to enhance the luminosity of his face and the meticulous rendering of his features. The man's gaze is directed slightly off-center, engaging the viewer with a sense of introspection and presence. The light falls softly on the subject's face, highlighting the texture of his skin and the intricate details of his attire, which includes a red garment that was typical of the period's fashion.

Antonello da Messina was a key figure in the introduction of oil painting techniques to the Italian Peninsula, which he may have learned through his interactions with Netherlandish painters. This technique allowed him to achieve a level of detail and a subtlety in the gradations of light and color that were unprecedented in Italian art of the time. "A Young Man (1474)" exemplifies the artist's mastery of this medium and his ability to capture the complexity of human expression.

The painting is also significant for its influence on the development of portraiture in the Renaissance. Antonello's work paved the way for future generations of artists by demonstrating the potential of portraiture to convey not just the physical likeness of the sitter, but also their inner life and character. "A Young Man (1474)" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Antonello da Messina and a testament to the transformative power of the Renaissance in the visual arts.
