Original Description
Portrait D'un Homme En Armure by Corneille de Lyon is a mesmerizing 16th-century portrait that captures the Renaissance spirit with remarkable finesse. The subject, an unidentified nobleman clad in intricately detailed armor, exudes quiet dignity against a muted green background—a hallmark of de Lyon's refined style. Painted circa 1540-1550 during the artist's peak in Lyon, the work demonstrates the Northern Renaissance's precise realism blended with French courtly elegance. De Lyon's technique—delicate brushwork capturing luminous skin tones and the play of light on metal—reveals why he became portraitist to French royalty. At 8 7/8 x 7 1/8 inches (22.5 x 18 cm), this small-scale oil on panel achieves remarkable psychological depth, foreshadowing modern portrait conventions. The painting's significance lies in its transitional style, bridging Flemish precision with emerging French mannerism, while its mysterious subject continues to intrigue art historians.
For contemporary spaces, this portrait's restrained palette and aristocratic bearing make it ideal for creating refined focal points. Hang it in a wood-paneled study or executive office where its historic gravitas complements leather furnishings and brass accents, maintaining viewing height at eye-level (57-60 inches from floor to center). The armor's subtle metallic tones pair beautifully with navy or charcoal walls, while the organic green background harmonizes with olive or sage upholstery. Consider flanking it with sconces featuring Renaissance-inspired details to enhance its luminous qualities. In modern interiors, its compact size allows dramatic presentation in a gilded frame above a minimalist console, creating an intriguing tension between old and new. For proper conservation, avoid direct sunlight and maintain stable humidity—making climate-controlled spaces preferable. This portrait transforms any room into a gallery-worthy setting while sparking thoughtful conversation.
