Portrait of a Man (Lotto)

Portrait of a Man is an oil on canvas painting by Lorenzo Lotto, dated to around 1545 due to its stylistic similarities to the artist's other works in the mid-1540s such as Portrait of an Old Man with Gloves (Milan). Another theory holds that the subject is Giovanni Taurini da Montepulciano, viceroy of Ancona, which would change the date to 1551, the year of Lotto's arrival in Ancona. It is now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, which it entered in 1855 as part of the Oggioni Bequest.[1]
