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. [1]
The portrait depicts a 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. [2] His aristocratic left-hand rests idly on the balustrade. [3] In the far distance, a last gleam of light still illumines for a moment a broad fall of water. [4] The work is signed "Titianus" on the window ledge. [5]
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. [6] The Brera however dates it slightly earlier, between 1535 and 1540. [7]
