"A Head of a Bearded Man" is a notable work by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Ribera, born on January 12, 1591, in Játiva, near Valencia, Spain, and active mainly in Naples, Italy, was a leading painter of the Spanish Baroque period. His work is characterized by a dramatic use of light and shadow, a style known as chiaroscuro, and often depicted religious and mythological subjects with a stark, realistic approach.

This particular painting, "A Head of a Bearded Man," exemplifies Ribera's mastery of depicting human emotion and character through portraiture. The work is a close-up representation of an elderly man with a full beard, capturing the textures of his skin and hair with meticulous detail. The man's expression is introspective and solemn, conveying a sense of wisdom and experience. Ribera's focus on the man's face allows for an intimate portrayal, inviting the viewer to ponder the subject's thoughts and feelings.

The painting is believed to date from the 17th century, during Ribera's mature period when he had fully developed his signature style. "A Head of a Bearded Man" is often noted for its psychological depth and the artist's ability to render the human condition with empathy and realism. The artwork's precise date of creation, original commission, and early history may not be thoroughly documented, which is not uncommon for works from this era.

As a significant piece by Ribera, "A Head of a Bearded Man" contributes to the understanding of the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Baroque art. It showcases the influence of Caravaggio, whom Ribera admired, and reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of 17th-century Europe, particularly the interest in naturalism and the exploration of human emotion.

The painting is part of the collection of the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it is displayed alongside other works by Ribera and his contemporaries. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and as an example of Ribera's contribution to the Baroque movement.
