1475, Hans Memling, Portrait of a Young Man -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Memling's meticulous attention to detail is notable in the remarkable naturalism of the sitter's physiognomy and textures of his tunic. The young man was likely one of the many Florentines who visited Bruges or resided there and commissioned portraits from the renowned artist. It appears that shortly after it was painted, the panel was sent to Florence, where it inspired Italian artists.
