Male Portrait
around 1645/49 | Nicolas Régnier
Nicolò Renieri, as the “fiammingo” born in Maubeuge in Hainaut was called, is a typical representative of international Caravaggism as it had spread from Rome into Italy and the Netherlands from the third decade of the 17th century onwards. Régnier, resident in Rome from around 1610 and in Venice from around 1626, seems to have learned from Bartolomeo Manfredi and Vouet, and lived together with Dirck van Barburen. Debate has centred around whether this picture may be a self-portrait.
