"Portrait of Steffano Raggio" is a notable work by the renowned Flemish painter Joos van Cleve, who was active during the early 16th century. Van Cleve, known for his detailed and expressive portraits, was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance, and his works often reflect the intricate realism and sophisticated use of color characteristic of this period. The portrait is believed to have been painted around 1525-1530, a time when van Cleve was at the height of his artistic prowess.

The subject of the painting, Steffano Raggio, was a Genoese merchant, which underscores the interconnectedness of European trade and culture during the Renaissance. The portrait exemplifies van Cleve's skill in capturing not only the physical likeness of his subjects but also their social status and personality. Steffano Raggio is depicted with a composed and dignified expression, indicative of his status and character. The meticulous attention to detail in his attire, with rich fabrics and fine accessories, further emphasizes his wealth and position.

Van Cleve's technique in this portrait is exemplary of his broader oeuvre, showcasing his ability to blend the detailed precision of Northern Renaissance art with the softer, more naturalistic approach of the Italian Renaissance. The use of light and shadow in the painting adds depth and dimension, bringing a lifelike quality to Raggio's features. The background, though simple, serves to highlight the subject, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on Raggio's face and attire.

"Portrait of Steffano Raggio" is a testament to Joos van Cleve's mastery as a portraitist and his ability to convey the essence of his subjects. It remains an important piece within the context of Renaissance art, reflecting the cultural and economic exchanges of the period and the enduring legacy of van Cleve's artistic contributions.
