Niccolò Acciaioli 1450

This fresco, titled "Niccolò Acciaioli", was created in 1450 by the Florentine artist Andrea del Castagno. It depicts a powerful figure, Niccolò Acciaioli, in a striking pose, his gaze directed towards the viewer, and his right hand resting on a staff. The work, housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, is an example of early Renaissance portraiture and exemplifies Castagno's masterful use of linear perspective and his ability to capture the individuality of his subjects.
