"Tommaso Portinari" is a portrait painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Hans Memling, dated to around 1470. The painting is one of a pair of portraits depicting Tommaso di Folco Portinari, an Italian banker based in Bruges, and his wife, Maria Baroncelli. Tommaso Portinari was a prominent member of the Medici Bank and the manager of its Bruges branch, which was one of the most important financial centers in Europe at the time. The companion portrait of Maria Baroncelli is similarly celebrated for its detail and historical significance.

The portrait of Tommaso Portinari is executed in oil on oak panel and measures approximately 44.1 cm by 33.7 cm. It showcases Memling's skill in rendering lifelike figures and textures, as well as his attention to the sitters' status and personality. Portinari is depicted against a dark background, which serves to highlight the fine details of his visage and the luxurious materials of his attire. His gaze is directed outward, engaging the viewer with a solemn and introspective expression.

The painting is notable for its meticulous detail, particularly in the rendering of Portinari's richly embroidered garment and the fur lining of his cloak, which reflect his wealth and social standing. Additionally, the portrait includes symbolic elements, such as the red cross of the Order of Saint James of Compostela pinned to his hat, indicating Portinari's membership in the chivalric order.

"Tommaso Portinari" and its companion piece are significant works in the oeuvre of Hans Memling and are exemplary of the cultural exchange between the Italian and Flemish art worlds during the Renaissance. The portraits were likely commissioned to commemorate the couple's marriage and to assert their social and economic status within the community of Bruges.

The portraits of Tommaso Portinari and Maria Baroncelli are held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where they continue to be studied and admired for their historical importance and artistic mastery. They serve as a testament to the interconnectedness of European trade, culture, and art during the 15th century.
