# Portrait of a Young Man [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TURA, Cosmè]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Tempera on panel, 27 x 14 cm ## Commentary Portrait of a Young Man c. 1475 Tempera on panel, 27 x 14 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Traditionally the painting was attributed to Piero della Francesca, while at the end of the 19th century to Francesco Cossa. Since 1926 it is generally accepted as a work of Tura. The assumption that the sitter is Borso d'Este was not confirmed. It seems to be an independent portrait, although the possibility that it is a fragment from a larger composition is also emerged. This portrait of a youth is considered the sole survivor of Tura's activity as a portrait painter at the Este court of Ferrara. Additionally, Tura has been attributed with the design of two medals of Duke Ercole I d'Este, his wife, Eleonora of Aragon, and their son Alfonso, as well as a portrait miniature of the ducchess. ## Related artworks - [A Muse \(Calliope?\)]() - [A Muse \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(from the predella of the Roverella Polyptych\)]() - [Alfonso d'Este]() - [Allegory of August: Triumph of Ceres \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of August: Triumph of Ceres \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of August: Triumph of Ceres \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of August: Triumph of Ceres]() - [Allegory of July: Triumph of Jupiter \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of July: Triumph of Jupiter]() - [Allegory of June: Triumph of Mercury \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of June: Triumph of Mercury]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
