Portrait of a man

The Portrait of a Man, often argued as a Self-Portrait, is an oil painting on canvas crafted by El Greco between 1595 and 1600. While some scholars propose that it may be a self-portrait—citing the same figure appearing aged in several works—the lack of definitive evidence sparks debate. The painting showcases influences from Titian and Tintoretto, artists El Greco studied in Venice, representing a late stage of Mannerism, a movement that marked the end of the Renaissance. Presently, this debated self-portrait finds itself housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
