Brutus and Porcia is a 1496 oil by Unknown, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a scene with six people in Renaissance-style clothing. The setting is a landscape with a castle, a river, and a village. The colors are muted, with lots of greens, browns, and tans. In the foreground, a woman in a green dress is kissing a man in a red hat. Another woman in a pink dress is walking towards them. Three men are standing in the background, looking on. One interesting detail is the way the artist used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the scene. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a rough, unfinished look. If you like this painting, you might want to look up the National Museum in Kraków.
