Portrait of a donor is a 1525 oil by Adriaen Isenbrandt, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts a man with brown hair and bangs, wearing a dark robe over a white shirt. He is set against a backdrop of trees, hills, and a castle. The man's hands are clasped together in front of him. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with the man's face and clothing rendered in fine detail. The background is less detailed, with the trees and hills suggested rather than fully realized. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Adriaen Isenbrandt or Adriaen Ysenbrandt (between 1480 and 1490 – July 1551) was a painter in Bruges, in the final years of Early Netherlandish painting, and the first of the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting of the Northern Renaissance.
