1627
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Miehen muotokuva is a 1627 unspecified by Luciano Borzone, a Early Renaissance work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This is a portrait of a man in a dark, ornate frame. He’s wearing a black outfit with a ruffled collar and a mustache. The background is plain and dark, so all the focus is on his face. The frame looks old and fancy, with gold swirls and black details. The painting uses shadows to make his face stand out—notice how the light hits his cheekbones and nose. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
Luciano Borzone was an Italian painter of a late-Mannerist and early-Baroque style active mainly in his natal city of Genoa.
