# Portrait of a Man [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MORONI, Giovanni Battista]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 107 x 75 cm ## Commentary This portrait represents an elderly, bearded gentleman whose forehead is marked with a pronounced tumour. He wears a luxurious coat lined with lynx and a gold cross and chain with the Lion of Saint Mark \(a Venetian honour\). A painting belonged to the Albani family in the eighteenth century, and later the sitter was identified as Gian Gerolamo Albani \(1509-1591\). This identification is debated. ## Related artworks - [A Gentleman in Adoration before the Madonna]() - [Abbess Lucrezia Agliardi Vertova]() - [Gian Lodovico Madruzzo]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Soldier]() - [Portrait of Antonio Navagero]() - [Portrait of Don Gabriel de la Cueva, later Duke of Alburquerque \(detail\)]() - [Portrait of Don Gabriel de la Cueva, later Duke of Alburquerque]() - [Portrait of Jacopo Foscarini]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
