"A Man in Armour" is a 1655 oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting a man in full armor, holding a spear and wearing a red cloak. The painting is characterized by Rembrandt's signature use of chiaroscuro, with dramatic contrasts of light and dark that highlight the figure's features. The painting has been praised for its dramatic composition, its realistic portrayal of the subject, and its evocative mood, typical of Rembrandt's style during this period.
