1550 (ca.), Jacopo Bassano (Jacopo da Ponte), Portrait of a Bearded Man -- Getty Museum (Los Angeles)
From the museum label: A rare portrait from the Venetian artist's middle years, this work departs from portrait conventions of the time in its depiction of the sitter's melancholic mood and in the animated way he turns his head to one side, as if momentarily distracted. The man's strong physical presence is emphasized by the shadow he casts against the wall behind him.
