Portrait of a Man

Tommaso Fiorentino (Tommaso di Stefano Lunetti)

1521 · Oil on wood · European Paintings

This portrait, with the sitter intriguingly pointing out of the picture, is the only signed work by Tommaso di Stefano Lunetti, who was the son of a miniaturist and a pupil of Lorenzo di Credi. The figure is set before an architectural background, which accords with the sixteenth-century biographer Giorgio Vasari’s statement that the artist was also an architect.
