1500 (ca.), Giovanni Bellini, Portrait of a Man -- Louvre Museum (Paris)

This portrait by Giovanni Bellini shows a man in three-quarter profile against a background of sky - a popular portrait style in Venice around 1460-1500. The sitter's stiff pose and the harmonious light that illuminates his facial features suggest his status. The absence of a balustrade gives the figure an elongated look.
