Description : Ritratto di Pietro Aretino

Oil on canvas. This is a (much smaller) copy of the famous portrait painted by Titian in 1545, now in the Palatine Gallery of the Uffizi in Florence. A renowned writer and courtier of sixteenth-century Italy, Aretino lived first in Rome at the papal court in the 1520s, and later in Venice, where he became renowned for his ingenious and insightful writings. He was also feared for his violent, satirical nature and his forthright, polemical writing, which he used to criticize even illustrious and powerful figures, earning him the nickname "the scourge of princes" by Ludovico Ariosto. The portrait highlights the man's proud and resolute frown in his gaze and pose. The painting is presented in an early 20th-century frame.
