1526
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Philipp of Melanchthon is a 1526 by Albrecht Dürer, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a man with a beard and wavy hair, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt. The man is shown from the chest up, facing to the right. The background is a light color, with some darker shading behind the man's head. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking off into the distance. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the man's clothing and facial features. This portrait is a great example of Renaissance art, which emphasized realism and humanism.
