Painted in Rome by one of the outstanding Venetian masters of the High Renaissance, this badly damaged portrait purports to show Christopher Columbus. The inscription identifies him as "the Ligurian Colombo, the first to enter by ship into the world of the Antipodes 1519," but the writing is not entirely trustworthy and the date 1519 means that it cannot have been painted from life, as Columbus died in 1506. There are other, quite different, portraits that also claim to show Columbus. Nonetheless, from an early date our picture became the authoritative likeness. In 1814 the painting was part of the collection of Prince Talleyrand and was exhibited at the Palais Royal in Paris.

In 1519 the male artist Sebastiano del Piombo created this piece of art Portrait of a Man, Said to be Christopher Columbus (born about 1446, died 1506). The original had the size: 42 x 34 3/4 in (106,7 x 88,3 cm) and was painted with the technique oil on canvas. Moveover, the artpiece belongs to the digital collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art located in New York City, New York, United States of America. This classic art artwork, which belongs to the public domain is provided with courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1900. The creditline of the artwork is: Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1900. The alignment of the digital reproduction is portrait with an aspect ratio of 1 : 1.2, meaning that the length is 20% shorter than the width. Sebastiano del Piombo was a male painter, whose style was primarily High Renaissance.
