"Mannliches Portrat (Ariost?) (Bildnis des Ariost)" is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Sebastiano del Piombo. Created in the early 16th century, this work is believed to be a portrait of the Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto, although the identity of the sitter remains a subject of debate among art historians. The painting exemplifies Sebastiano's skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the subtle nuances of human expression and character.

Sebastiano del Piombo, originally from Venice, was a contemporary of renowned artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael. He was known for his innovative use of color and his ability to blend the Venetian coloristic tradition with the monumental forms of the Roman High Renaissance. This particular portrait reflects Sebastiano's mastery in rendering textures and fabrics, as well as his keen attention to detail.

The composition of the painting is typical of Renaissance portraiture, with the sitter depicted in a three-quarter view against a dark background, which serves to highlight the figure's features. The subject's attire and demeanor suggest a person of intellectual and cultural significance, aligning with the possible identification as Ariosto, who was a prominent literary figure of the time.

While the attribution to Sebastiano del Piombo is generally accepted, some scholars have raised questions about the painting's authorship, suggesting that it may have been the work of another artist from the same period. Despite these debates, "Mannliches Portrat (Ariost?)" remains an important example of Renaissance portraiture, offering insights into the artistic practices and cultural milieu of 16th-century Italy.

The painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, where it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike. Its enigmatic subject and exquisite execution make it a fascinating piece for those interested in the intersection of art and literature during the Renaissance.
