Man at Arms 1487

"Man at Arms" is a fresco painted by Donato Bramante in 1487. This piece is an example of the artist's early style which transitioned from the late Renaissance to the High Renaissance. The figure is depicted in profile, clad in armor, and against a background of classical architecture. The detail of the armor is rendered realistically. This work showcases Bramante's ability to depict human figures with precision and detail, which would become a hallmark of his later work.
