Antonello da Messina Painting Portrait of a Man.

Portrait of a Man.

Antonello seems to have a special affinity to men’s faces. This painting of oil on wood exhibits a cunning smile. Once again the close collar coat is shown which signifies the fashion in those times. Growing of beards seems to have given way to closely shaven faces. The black background allows the enhancement of the facial expression. This painting can be seen at Galleria Borghese in Rome.
