Portrait of a Man

Tommaso Fiorentino (? – ?)
Giottino (Tommaso Fiorentino) was a 14th-century Florentine painter, son of Stefano Fiorentino, heavily influenced by Giotto di Bondone. Known for his frescoes in Santa Croce and the Pietà of San Remigio, he bridged the gap between Giotto's style and later Renaissance artists.
This portrait, with the sitter intriguingly pointing out of the picture, is the only signed work by Tommaso di Stefano Lunetti, who was the son of a miniaturist and a pupil of Lorenzo di Credi. The figure is set before an architectural background, which accords with the sixteenth-century biographer Giorgio Vasari’s statement that the artist was also an architect.
