"Portrait of a Fat Man" is a painting often attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle, dating to around 1430. This work is considered significant as it represents one of the earliest examples of portraiture in Northern European art, a genre that would become increasingly important during the Renaissance. The painting is notable for its realistic depiction of the subject, a departure from the more idealized representations of figures that were common in the medieval period.

The subject of the painting, colloquially referred to as a "fat man," is portrayed with a level of individuality and detail that suggests a move towards a more personal and humanistic approach to portraiture. The man's features are rendered with attention to the textures of his skin and the play of light, showcasing Campin's skill in capturing the physical presence and character of his sitter. The identity of the man is unknown, but his dress and demeanor suggest that he was a person of some status and wealth.

"Portrait of a Fat Man" is typically discussed within the context of Campin's oeuvre for its demonstration of the artist's mastery of oil painting techniques, which allowed for a richness of color and detail not achievable with earlier tempera paints. The painting's provenance and current location are not well-documented, and scholarly debate continues regarding the attribution to Campin, as with many works from this period. If the attribution is correct, this portrait would be an important piece in understanding the development of individual portraiture in the 15th century and the broader evolution of Northern Renaissance art.

Due to the lack of concrete information about the painting's provenance and the questions surrounding its attribution, the painting remains a subject of interest for art historians and scholars of the Early Netherlandish period. Further research and analysis may provide additional insights into the painting's origins and the identity of its enigmatic subject.
