"Portrait of a Man" by Corneille de Lyon, a distinguished 16th-century French painter, is a notable example of the artist's mastery in portraiture, emblematic of the French Renaissance period. Corneille de Lyon, originally from The Hague, Netherlands, became highly influential in France, particularly in Lyon, where he was active from around 1533 until his death in 1575. Although not much is known about his life, Corneille de Lyon's legacy is primarily preserved through his intimate and detailed portraits, which capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable finesse.

"Portrait of a Man" is characteristic of Corneille de Lyon's style, which is known for its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the subtle rendering of facial expressions. His portraits are typically small in size, often not larger than a modern A4 sheet of paper, and are executed with oil on wood panels. This particular work, like many of his portraits, showcases a subject depicted against a nondescript, usually dark, background, which serves to highlight the figure's visage and attire. The identity of the man in the portrait remains unknown, a common feature of many of Corneille's works, where the focus is on the portrayal of the sitter's personality and status rather than their historical significance.

The painting exemplifies the transition from the medieval tradition of portraiture to the more individualized and secular approach of the Renaissance. Corneille de Lyon's contribution to French portraiture is significant, as he is credited with introducing a more nuanced and personal style, moving away from the idealized representations common in earlier periods. His influence extended beyond his lifetime, contributing to the development of portrait painting in France.

"Portrait of a Man" is not only a testament to Corneille de Lyon's skill as a portraitist but also an important piece of art historical evidence of the cultural and artistic transitions of the 16th century. The work is preserved in a public collection, allowing for continued appreciation and study, and remains a key example of Corneille de Lyon's enduring legacy in the history of art.
