Uomo dall'alabarda 1487

Donato Bramante's "Uomo dall'alabarda" (Man with the Halberd) from 1487 is a fresco fragment depicting a young man in a flowing robe, his face turned slightly away from the viewer. The fragment's incomplete state and the man's pose suggest that the work was originally part of a larger composition. Bramante, renowned for his architectural innovations, also produced masterful paintings, demonstrating a keen understanding of human form and drapery, typical of the High Renaissance style.
