Portrait of Count Antonio Porcia and Brugnera (Italian: Ritratto del conte Antonio di Porcia e Brugnera) is an oil painting by Titian, dated to c. 1535-1540. It hangs in the Pinacoteca di Brera, in Milan.
Description
The portrait depicts an half-length figure in black, with his face turned forwards, and an energetic head in repose; across the breast is a broad gold chain with an ornament hanging from it; in the somewhat sombre lower portion of the picture there is the shining knob of the sword and the spot of white in the cuff. His aristocratic left-hand rests idly on the balustrade. In the far distance, a last gleam of light still illumines for a moment a broad fall of water. The work is signed "Titianus" on the window ledge.
Date
According to Georg Gronau, the style of the painting has so much similarlity with works of c. 1540-1543, that it must be assigned to that date. The Brera however dates it slightly earlier, between 1535 and 1540.
Provenance
Formerly in Castle Porcia, near Pordenone.
Presented to the Brera Art Gallery in 1892 by the Duchess Litta Visconti.
