Portrait of a Young Man 1467 - 1477

Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Young Man" is a captivating oil on panel painting that showcases the artist's mastery of Northern Renaissance portraiture. Completed between 1467 and 1477, the work features a young man, possibly a wealthy merchant, rendered with exquisite detail. His direct gaze and elegant attire convey his status and composure, while the backdrop of a classical architectural setting suggests a cultivated and refined environment. This work, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Memling's style.
