    Is there any evidence that Titian’s “Portrait of a Man in Red Cap” is a self-portrait?

    Question #100687. Asked by edmund80. (Oct 31 08 9:09 PM)


    cag1970

    		Titian is known to have done two self-portraits once he had reached more advanced age--one around 1562 and the other around 1567. A third piece, done around 1512 with a subject in a puffy blue shirt, is also believed to be a self-portrait. In all three pieces, he is wearing a beard and a skull cap similar to a yarmulke. The subject of The Portrait of a Man in Red Cap is not wearing that yarmulke-type cap. I have not, to this point, found any evidence to support that Red Cap is a self-portrait.

    		In 1914 it was supposed to be a portrait of Lorenzo of Medici.

    The Frick Museum, where it hangs, cannot identify the subject.
