"Portrait of a Man" is a celebrated painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina, believed to have been created around 1475. This work is one of the earliest examples of portraiture in which the sitter is depicted in a three-quarter view, a technique that would become a hallmark of Western portraiture. The identity of the man depicted remains unknown, but the painting is often referred to as the "Portrait of a Man" or the "Trivulzio Portrait," after one of its former owners.

The painting is renowned for its lifelike quality and the psychological depth it conveys. Antonello da Messina's mastery in the use of oil paint is evident in the detailed rendering of the subject's features, the subtle play of light and shadow, and the rich, nuanced colors. The sitter's gaze, directed toward the viewer, is particularly arresting and has been the subject of much commentary for its introspective and enigmatic quality.

"Portrait of a Man" is a significant work in Antonello da Messina's oeuvre and in the history of art for its innovative approach to portraiture. It reflects the influence of Netherlandish painting, which Antonello was exposed to during his travels or through the works of Northern artists active in Italy. The painting's precise date of creation, the identity of the sitter, and the circumstances of its commission remain subjects of scholarly debate.

The painting has had a complex provenance, passing through various private collections before becoming part of the public domain. It is currently housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As a testament to the skill of Antonello da Messina and the evolving art of portraiture in the Renaissance, "Portrait of a Man" remains an enduring masterpiece of the 15th century.
