The artwork “Portrait of a Man (Terris)” was created by Giorgione in 1510. It is an oil painting on a panel, representing the High Renaissance art movement. The dimensions of the painting are 30.1 x 25.7 cm, and it is classified as a portrait. This notable piece is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in San Diego, California, US.
In the artwork, a man is depicted with a solemn expression. His face is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, capturing the subtle nuances of his skin tones and the play of light and shadow. His eyes are deep-set and exhibit a sense of introspection. The man’s hair is dark and of medium length, framing his face naturally. The background is dark, emphasizing the subject’s features and adding a sense of depth to the portrait. The clothing is simple and dark, which further directs the viewer’s focus towards the subject’s face. The painterly technique demonstrates Giorgione’s mastery in creating lifelike representations and emotional depth typical of the High Renaissance period.
