Man with a Glove 1520

Titian's *Man with a Glove* (1520) is a portrait of an unknown young man, painted in a dark, dramatic style typical of the Venetian Renaissance. This work showcases Titian's mastery of oil paint, seen in the subtle transitions of light and shadow on the subject's face and clothing. The glove, a symbol of both status and the transience of youth, is a recurring motif in Titian's work, adding a sense of intrigue and mystery to the portrait. The painting is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
