"Portrait of a Man" (1475) is a celebrated painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina. This work is one of several portraits attributed to Antonello, and it exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the psychological depth and individuality of his subjects. Painted in oil on wood panel, the portrait measures 27 cm × 19 cm (10.6 in × 7.5 in) and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London.

The painting depicts an unidentified man, whose gaze meets the viewer directly, a characteristic that was innovative for the time and suggestive of the artist's Northern European influences. Antonello's mastery of oil painting techniques, a relatively new medium to Italy at the time, allowed him to achieve a remarkable level of detail and a subtle gradation of tones, which contribute to the lifelike quality of the work.

The subject of the portrait is dressed in a dark garment with a black cap, and his presence is enhanced by the neutral, light background. The man's expression is introspective and solemn, and the artist's use of chiaroscuro—a technique involving the contrast of light and shadow—enhances the three-dimensionality of the face. The precise date of the painting, 1475, is known from the inscription on the upper left corner, which adds to the historical significance of the work.

"Portrait of a Man" is often discussed in the context of Antonello da Messina's influence on the development of portraiture in the Renaissance. His ability to convey the sitter's character and mood set a new standard for portraiture that would be emulated by subsequent generations of artists. The painting is a testament to Antonello's talent and his role in the diffusion of oil painting techniques throughout Italy, which would have a lasting impact on the course of Western art.
