Venetian Bishop Oil Portrait Follower Of Titian 1630
For your consideration we are delighted to offer a unique opportunity to acquire an early 17th century old master portrait of a Roman Catholic Bishop In The Republic Of Venice completed in 1630 when the gentleman reached 66 years of age -
The portrait is inscribed “ AE TATIS 66 “ in the upper left corner and is dated below “ 1630 “.
The Bishops family Coat Of Arms has been painted in the top right corner and bears a cross above the emblem.
-
FRAME
An impressively large oil on canvas painting set within a later modern ebonized replacement frame.
-
BY FOLLOWER OF TITIAN ( b.1490-d.1576 )
Tiziano Vecelli or Vecellio, known in English as Titian, was a Venetian painter during the Renaissance, considered the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, 'from Cadore', taken from his native region.
-
Titian demonstrates his ability to convey the calm and at the same time authoritative character of the subject through his two paintings shown in our article.
-
CONDITION
In good order for it's considerable age of almost 400 years - great impact - no damage or holes or stretcher marks - relined many years ago - and with signs of careful retouching and restorations as expected in the previous centuries.
-
In our opinion the cross has been a later addition in earlier centuries and the inscription has been carefully enhanced due to wear in the gold paint used to write the lettering.
-
Overall a very decorative and imposing work indeed and as the work is Venetian School after Titian, makes for a reasonably good longterm investment.
-
Please excuse the areas of lighter background - they are simply varnish glare and not a faulty presence !
-
I feel that these early portraits are a great decorative addition to a period home - the problem is trying to find them in good condition
-
RESEARCH
Please see two additional images of examples of works by Titian after which our impressive portrait has been produced.
-
1/ Bishop Of Bologna Ludovico Beccadelli 1501-1572 Painted in 1552.
Housed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Italy.
-
2/ Filippo Archinto (1495–1558), born in Milan, was an Italian lawyer, papal bureaucrat, bishop, and diplomat. He served as Governor of Rome and then papal Vicar of Rome.
Dating mid-1550s, on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
-
The example we offer is by an unknown artist who was clearly a “ follower of “ Titian’s works and note the clear resemblance in posture of the sitter and the positioning of his hands.
-
You can also see that our example depicts the Bishop holding a bible in his left hand thus denoting he is a religious man of the clergy.
