Ritratto di Franceso della Rovere -- Tiziano, Uffizi

Speranza



Portraitist of Europe's princes, Tiziano divided his time between Alfonso d'Este at Ferrara, the Gonzaga pamily at Mantova, the Farnese family and the Popes of Rome.

The portrait of Francesco della Rovere, duca d'Urbino, fully justifies Tiziano's reputation.

The colours are brought out by broad brushwork and light effects that come from many different sources.
