"Man with a Petrarch" is a notable portrait attributed to the French Renaissance artist Jean Clouet, who was active during the early 16th century. Jean Clouet, often referred to as Jean Clouet the Elder, was a prominent painter at the court of King Francis I of France. He is renowned for his detailed and realistic portraiture, which significantly influenced the development of French Renaissance art.

The painting "Man with a Petrarch" is believed to have been created around the 1530s. It depicts an unidentified man holding a book, presumed to be a volume of works by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca, commonly known as Petrarch. Petrarch was a seminal figure in the early Renaissance, known for his sonnets and his role in the revival of classical literature. The inclusion of Petrarch's book in the portrait suggests the subject's intellectual interests and humanist leanings, which were highly valued during the Renaissance period.

Clouet's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the man's features, clothing, and the book he holds. The portrait exemplifies Clouet's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters, a quality that earned him a distinguished reputation among his contemporaries. The use of fine lines and subtle shading techniques in the drawing highlights Clouet's mastery of draftsmanship.

While the identity of the man in the portrait remains unknown, the work is significant for its representation of Renaissance humanism and the cultural milieu of the French court. "Man with a Petrarch" is part of the collection at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical value. The portrait not only reflects the individual characteristics of the sitter but also provides insight into the intellectual and cultural currents of the time.
