About Young man (The impassioned singer)

The artwork entitled “Young Man (The Impassioned Singer)” was created by the esteemed artist Giorgione around the year 1510. Executed in oil on canvas, this portrait belongs to the High Renaissance movement and measures 78 by 102 centimeters. It is currently housed in the Borghese Gallery in Rome, Italy.

In this portrait, the viewer is presented with an expressive young man, caught in a moment of profound emotional engagement, presumably in the act of singing. The subject’s head is slightly tilted, and his face displays an intense, yet serene expression, enhancing the sense of impassioned performance. He wears a voluminous red hat, which contrasts vividly with his simple, light-colored attire, reflecting the artist’s masterful use of color and light. The background is subdued, allowing the figure’s emotive presence to dominate the composition. The delicate rendering of his hand gestures and the soft texture of the fabric further highlight Giorgione’s skill in capturing human emotion and subtle nuances in his work.
