The Gunner is a 1559 by Franz Brun, a Renaissance work, depicting Cannon, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a man holding a gun. He's dressed in old clothes. The man's face is serious, which makes the scene feel real. The artist put a lot of detail into the gun and the man's hands. This suggests the artist was interested in showing everyday life. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
