"Portrait of a Fat Man" is a painting often attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle. The work is undated, but art historians generally place it in the first half of the 15th century, possibly around the 1420s or 1430s. This period was marked by a growing interest in individualism and the naturalistic representation of subjects, which is reflected in the detailed and realistic portrayal of the figure in this painting.

The portrait is notable for its unidealized depiction of the subject, who is presented with a candidness that was innovative for its time. The man's corpulence is emphasized, which has led to the painting's informal title. The identity of the sitter is unknown, but he is presumed to have been a wealthy burgher or merchant, given the costly attire that he wears and the fact that portraiture of the time was typically reserved for the upper echelons of society.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in the early 15th century due to its versatility and the rich colors it allowed artists to achieve. Campin's mastery of oil painting techniques is evident in the texture of the man's skin, the intricate folds of his clothing, and the play of light across the surface of the work.

"Portrait of a Fat Man" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Robert Campin for its early use of oil painting and its contribution to the development of portraiture in Northern Renaissance art. The painting is held in a private collection, and as such, it is not on public display. Its provenance and the circumstances of its commission are not well-documented, which has led to some debate among art historians regarding its attribution to Campin. Despite this, the painting remains a significant example of 15th-century portraiture, offering insights into the cultural and social contexts of the time.
