　　红衣主教尼科洛·阿尔贝加蒂的肖像是早期荷兰画家扬·范·艾克的一幅画作，可追溯到1431年左右，目前收藏在奥地利维也纳艺术史博物馆。

　　尼科洛·阿尔贝加蒂是教皇马丁五世手下的一名外交官。在安特卫普的一次和平会议上，他遇到了范·艾克，范·艾克在一幅画中描绘了他，艺术家在画中添加了颜色注释，以便绘制后来的肖像画。这幅画现藏于德国德累斯顿美术馆。

　　红衣主教是从四分之三开始描绘的，这在早在1430年代的佛兰德绘画中就很常见，在黑暗的背景下，这增强了人物形象，而人物形象则受到明亮光源的照射。正如范·艾克的作品中常见的那样，对细节的关注是最大的，这要归功于他使用用油稀释的连续颜色层的技术，这使他能够获得透明和清晰的深层效果。与预备图的比较表明，范·艾克改变了几个逼真的细节，如肩膀的深度、鼻子的下曲线、嘴巴的深度，主要是耳朵的大小，也许是为了增强资历的印象，从而增强红衣主教的权威。

　　The Portrait of Cardinal Niccolò Albergati is a painting by early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck, dating to around 1431 and currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna, Austria.

　　Niccolò Albergati was a diplomat working under Pope Martin V. During a peace congress in Antwerp, he met van Eyck, who portrayed him in a drawing in which the artist added notes on the colors in order to execute a later painting portrait. The drawing is now in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen of Dresden, Germany.

　　The cardinal is portrayed from three-quarters, as was usual in Flemish painting since as early as the 1430s, on a dark background which enhances the figure, which is instead subject to a bright light source. As common in van Eyck's work, attention to detail is maximum, thanks to his technique using successive layers of colors diluted with oil, which allowed him deep effects of transparency and lucidity. Comparison with the preparatory drawing shows that van Eyck changed several realistic details, such as the depth of the shoulders, the lower curve of the nose, the depth of the mouth and mainly the size of the ear, perhaps to strengthen the impression of seniority and, consequently, of authority of the cardinal.
