Léal Souvenir
''Léal Souvenir'' (also known as ''Timotheus'' or ''Portrait of a Man'') is a small oil painting, oil-on-oak panel painting, panel portrait by the Early Netherlandish painting, Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, dated 1432. The sitter has not been identified, but his highly individual features suggest a historical person rather than the hypothetical ideal usual at the time in northern Renaissance art, Renaissance portraiture; his slight and unassuming torso is contrasted with a sophisticated facial expression. His features have been described as "plain and rustic", yet thoughtful and inward-looking. The sitter was apparently significant enough a member of the Duke of Burgundy, Burgundian duke Philip the Good's circle that his court painter portrayed him. The man sits before an imitation parapet with three sets of painted inscriptions, each rendered to look as if chiselled or scratched into stone.Panofsky, 80 Van Eyck did not have full command of either Ancient Greek, cl ...

Portrait Of A Man (Lotto)
''Portrait of a Man'' is an oil-on-canvas painting created c. 1545 by the Italian High Renaissance artist Lorenzo Lotto. Its dating is based on stylistic similarities to Lotto's other works of the mid-1540s, such as '' Portrait of an Old Man with Gloves'' (Milan). Another theory holds that the subject is Giovanni Taurini da Montepulciano, viceroy of Ancona, which would change the date to 1551, the year of Lotto's arrival in Ancona. It is now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, which it entered in 1855 as part of the Oggioni Bequest.Brera. ''Guida alla Pinacoteca'', Electa, Milano 2004.

Portrait Of A Man, Probably A Member Of The Van Beresteyn Family
Portrait of a Man, probably a Member of the Van Beresteyn Family is an oil-on-canvas 1632 portrait painting by Rembrandt. It shows a man with a lace collar, which was a new fashion in the 1630s replacing older-styled millstone collars. It is pendant to '' Portrait of a Woman, probably a Member of the Van Beresteyn Family'', and both are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Description Rembrandt created this painting as a pendant to the MET's portrait of a woman, probably as a wedding pendant. Only a few pairs of pendant portraits by Rembrandt have survived. This pair came into the collection via the Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer bequest in 1929. This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1914, who wrote:624. A MAN OF THE VAN BERESTEYN -VUCHT FAMILY. Dut. 248; Wb. 344; B.-HdG. 82. Three-quarter length; life size. About fifty. He stands, inclined a little to the right, and looks straight before him.

Portrait Of A Man In A Yellowish-Gray Jacket
''Portrait of a Man in a Yellowish-gray Jacket'' is an oil-on-panel portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1633 and now in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Dresden. Painting The painting shows a tastefully dressed young man in a floppy hat seated in a chair facing right with his head at an angle looking at the viewer. We don't know the name of the man or the occasion for which it was painted, but the painting is probably a pendant to the portrait of a man in a black jacket, which it matches in shape, size, period, and position of the figures. If so, it was possibly once a pair of portraits of organisation owners, or two men who lived together, because Hals was quite consistent with his pendant wedding portraits; positioning the man on the left and the woman on the right. This allowed the light which always shines from the left in his paintings, to shine directly on the woman's face and not the man's. In this case however, the portrait on th ...

Portrait Of A Man In Red Chalk
''Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk'' ( 1510) is a drawing currently in the collection of the Royal Library of Turin. It is widely, though not universally, accepted as a self-portrait of the Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. It is thought that Leonardo drew this self-portrait at about the age of 60. The portrait has been extensively reproduced and has become an iconic representation of him as a polymath or "Renaissance man". Despite this, some historians and scholars disagree as to the true identity of the sitter. Description and provenance The portrait is drawn in red chalk on paper. It depicts the head of an elderly man in three-quarter view, his face turned towards the viewer. The subject is distinguished by his long hair and long waving beard which flow over the shoulders and chest. The length of the hair and beard is uncommon in Renaissance portraits and suggests, as now, a person of sagacity. The face has a somewhat aquiline nose and is marked by deep lines on the brow and ...

Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Jalacy J. "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins (July 18, 1929 – February 12, 2000) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, actor, film producer, and boxer. Famed chiefly for his powerful, shouting vocal delivery and wildly theatrical performances of songs such as " I Put a Spell on You", he sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him an early pioneer of shock rock. He received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male for his performance in the 1989 indie film '' Mystery Train''. Early life Hawkins was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He had three older sisters, but his mother decided to put him into foster care. He grew up in the boarding house his foster mother owned.

Georges Perec (; 7 March 1936 – 3 March 1982) was a French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist. He was a member of the Oulipo group. His father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was killed in the Holocaust. Many of his works deal with absence, loss, and identity, often through word play.

He was a distant relative of the Yiddish writer Isaac Leib Peretz. Perec's father, who enlisted in the French Army during World War II, died in 1940 from untreated gunfire or shrapnel wounds, and his mother was killed in the Holocaust, probably in Auschwitz sometime after 1943. Perec was taken into the care of his paternal aunt and uncle in 1942, and in 1945, he was formally adopted by them.

Portrait Of A Man (Frans Hals, Frick)
''Portrait of a Man'' is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted and now in the Frick Collection, New York City. The man has been mistakenly identified as Michiel de Ruyter. Painting The painting is signed on the left at the level of the collar with the FH monogram and shows a man proudly displaying his fine linen shirt that pours out of his split-sleeve jacket. The opulence of the fabric is emphasized by the way the man has wrapped his cloak around him, under his right arm to show off his sleeve. Such abundant wrist collars are rarely seen in Hals portraits or indeed any Haarlem sitters. The personage depicted was possibly a cloth merchant or burgemeester. Hals mostly portrayed local people, barring a few rare examples of smaller portraits that were possibly painted for visitors to the town. In his 1910 catalog of Frans Hals works Hofstede de Groot wrote:247. PORTRAIT OF A MAN STANDING. M. 148. Three-quarter-length. He is seen in full face ...
