"Portrait of a Humanist" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sebastiano del Piombo, dated to around 1520. This work is notable for its depiction of an unidentified literary figure or scholar from the period, often referred to as a "humanist" due to the cultural and intellectual movement of the Renaissance that emphasized the study of classical texts and the values of human dignity and potential.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that Sebastiano, influenced by his Venetian training, helped to popularize in Rome where he worked for much of his career. The portrait is characterized by its rich color palette and the deep, contemplative expression of the sitter, which reflects the intellectual rigor associated with Renaissance humanism. The subject is portrayed with a book, suggesting his scholarly pursuits, and is dressed in the fashion typical of the intellectual elite of the time.

Sebastiano del Piombo, whose real name was Sebastiano Luciani, was a contemporary of Michelangelo and Raphael and is known for his portraits and religious compositions. His work on "Portrait of a Humanist" showcases his skill in blending the coloristic brilliance of the Venetian school with the monumental forms of the Roman tradition.

The painting is an important example of Renaissance portraiture, as it captures not only the physical likeness of the individual but also the cultural context in which he lived. The identity of the sitter remains a subject of scholarly debate, and various theories have been proposed regarding his identity, none of which have been conclusively proven.

"Portrait of a Humanist" is held in a prominent museum collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of Renaissance humanist culture. The work is often cited in art historical literature for its exemplary portrayal of a figure from an era that greatly valued education, literature, and the arts.
