Jan Gossart’s enigmatic portrait of an unidentified man, rendered with the meticulous detail characteristic of the Northern Renaissance. Gossart was among the first Flemish painters to journey to Italy, and his work bridges the Gothic tradition of the Low Countries with the humanist ideals of the Italian Renaissance.
