François de Montmorency is a 1557 oil by Corneille de Lyon, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Man, held at Clark Art Institute.
The painting depicts a man with dark, curly hair and a beard, wearing a white vest over a black shirt. The vest features gold trim and a high collar, while the background is a muted green color. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait from the 16th century. The artist's use of muted colors and attention to detail in the subject's clothing create a sense of realism. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Corneille de Lyon, a 16th-century Dutch artist known for his portraits.
Corneille de Lyon was a Dutch painter of portraits who was active in Lyon, France, from 1533 until his death. In France and the Netherlands he is also still known as Corneille de La Haye after his birthplace, The Hague.
