Portrait of a Young Man
1506 | Hans Burgkmayr (Burgkmair)
Hans Burgkmair became the principal artist of Renaissance painting in Augsburg. This early portrait, however, is still a type of late-Gothic, middle-class German portraiture. The monochrome background and the positioning of the young man within a narrow, window-like frame focuses our view on his head and hands.
