Portrait of a Young Englishman Self-researched

Artist: Titian
Location: Palazzo Pitti, Florence
Medium: Oil on canvas
Date: c. 1540–1545

A striking portrait of an unidentified young man with intense grey-blue eyes, traditionally but uncertainly identified as an Englishman. The sitter may be Henry Howard, Ottavio Farnese, or the Italian Ippolito Riminaldi. The painting is admired for its penetrating psychological insight and Titian's virtuosic handling of the rich dark costume against the grey background.
