The Portrait of Folco Portinari is a painting by the German painter Hans Memling, dating to c. 1490. It is displayed in the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, Italy.

History[]

The painting, for a period, was attributed to Antonello da Messina. It is documented for the first time at the Uffizi in 1863, assigned to an anonymous Flemish artist. Later, together with three other paintings in the gallery (, and ), the painting was attributed to Memling due to its high quality.

Of the four, the portrait of Folco Portinari is considered the latest one. The identification with Folco Portinari is anyway hypothetical.[1]
