BECCARUZZI, Francesco
(b. ca. 1492, Conegliano, d. before 1563, Treviso)

Portrait of a Man

c. 1550
Oil on canvas, 108 x 92 cm
Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

Beccaruzzi belongs to the school of Treviso, although his far from well-defined personality has often resulted in his works being confused with those of more famous masters. He was in fact comparable to Pordenone, Titian and Bassano, and particularly in portrait-painting his position was always highly ambiguous, although in this male portrait, thanks to a correct range of colours, it is at least agreeable.
