"An Old Man and His Grandson" (Italian: "Ritratto di vecchio con nipote") is a touching and celebrated Renaissance painting by the Florentine artist Domenico Ghirlandaio, created around 1490. This oil on panel work is renowned for its tender representation of familial affection and its striking realism. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and is considered one of Ghirlandaio's masterpieces.

The painting depicts a touching scene between an elderly man and a young boy, presumed to be his grandson, who gazes at him with affection and respect. The old man's face is marked by the signs of age, including a prominent rhinophyma, which Ghirlandaio has rendered with meticulous detail and without idealization, demonstrating a commitment to naturalism that was innovative for the time. This unflinching portrayal of age contrasts with the smooth, idealized visage of the boy, creating a poignant juxtaposition between youth and old age.

Ghirlandaio's work is notable for its humanistic qualities, capturing the essence of the relationship between the two figures with a warmth and intimacy that was uncommon in the formal portraiture of the era. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as the careful attention to the textures of the subjects' skin and clothing, contribute to the lifelike appearance of the painting.

"An Old Man and His Grandson" is often cited for its emotional depth and the dignified representation of the elderly, marking it as a significant contribution to the art of portraiture during the Italian Renaissance. The painting's influence is evident in the works of subsequent generations of artists, who were inspired by Ghirlandaio's blend of realism and compassion.
