Portrait of a Man, ca. 1620-1621 is a 1621 oil by Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting Man, held at Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.
This portrait depicts a man in a dark, shiny robe with a white collar, standing in front of a stone column and a landscape. The man's face is turned slightly to the left, and his right hand rests on a chair. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the man's face and hands illuminated against the darker background. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate folds of the man's clothing and the subtle expression on his face. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Anthony van Dyck.
Sir Anthony van Dyck (; Dutch: Antoon van Dijck ; 22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist, who became the leading court painter in England after success in the Spanish Netherlands and Italy.
