# Portrait of a Man [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CAPRIOLO, Domenico]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 117 x 85 cm ## Commentary Earlier the painting was identified as the self-portrait of Giorgione, then that of Francesco Dominici. Presently it is attributed to Capriolo although it is certainly not a self-portrait. The coin at the bottom right corner shows a deer \(in Italian capriolo\) and the inscription MDXI DOMINICVS A XXV. Domenico Capriolo \(Domenico di Bernardino, also Caprioli\) was most probably a pupil of his father-in-law, Pier Maria Pennacchi. Workshop periods with Giorgione and Titian are probable. Despite his early, violent death, he left behind an extensive body of work. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
