In Venice at the end of the century Titian therefore became one of the most sought-after 'representative' portraitists: his specialty was the court portrait, with which he immortalized sovereigns, popes, cardinals, princes and leaders, generally in full figure or more often in half figure, three-quarter view or seated, in official poses.The themes of strength, virile prowess, the audacity of weapons and armor became very topical in the 16th century, suggesting that being portrayed in arms was a real necessity to impose one's status and to convey an image of authority. and legitimate exercise of power.As we can see in our painting, the painter's attention is placed on the austerity of the physiognomy and the pose in the armor aimed at representing the power, embodied in our effigy.Our author is extremely attentive to detail and executes the model perfectly: standing figure in half-length, slightly three-quarter view, with the baton of command held as if it were a royal scepter, a dark background which enhances the minute details of the chisels of the armor, a severe expression and a gaze that gives in to the temptation to stare at the viewer.In order to arrive at a plausible attribution it is appropriate to make a digression on the importance that Titian assumed for portraiture at a European level: already appointed official painter of the Serenissima, in the mid-sixteenth century the master's career was now immense, so much so that among his greatest admirers and clients included Charles V and his son Philip II of Spain, although they never moved from Venice. The work is in fact extremely similar to one of the many portraits that Titian painted of the Habsburg king Charles V (1500-1558), in armor and with the baton of command, painted around 1530, of which however traces are lost but which has been handed down down to us thanks to a copy made by Rubens in 1603 (link: https://www.everypainterpaintshimself.com/article/rubens_copy_of_titians_charles_v_in_armor_with_a_d... )The painting is in a good state of conservation.
