Brustbild Eines Jungen Mannes 

This painting, "Brustbild Eines Jungen Mannes," is a portrait by German Romantic artist Philipp Otto Runge, born in 1777. The painting depicts a young man, likely a self-portrait of the artist, as his works were often self-reflective. His striking blue eyes gaze directly at the viewer, while his curly red hair and dark clothing frame his face, adding depth and a sense of drama to the composition. Runge's works often explored themes of nature, religion, and the sublime. He was a pioneer of the Romantic movement in Germany, known for his vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes. His work was influential on later artists like Caspar David Friedrich and the Nazarene movement.
