Portrait of a Man
by BARBARI, Jacopo de', Oil on linden panel, 38 x 30 cm
This painting dates to about 1505-06, when Jacopo was working in Wittenberg for the dukes of Saxony. The portrait reflects the strong influence of D�rer, but its monochrome colour scheme - dark gray cap and coat against a dark background - is unlike anything in Italy or Germany at the beginning of the sixteenth century.
