Renaissance portrait
Florentine era painting
A Renaissance portrait is a painting or drawing of an individual from the European Renaissance period, roughly the 14th through 17th centuries.
These works typically depict wealthy patrons, nobility, or prominent figures with careful attention to realistic detail, often showing the subject from the waist up against a dark or landscape background.
The term also describes modern works that imitate this style: The photographer arranged her subjects like Renaissance portraits.
