Such galleries were quite customary in courtly circles during the Renaissance. The present bust was made for Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle \(1517-1586\). He was a Burgundian statesman, made a cardinal, who followed his father as a leading minister of the Spanish Habsburgs, and was one of the most influential European politicians during the time which immediately followed the appearance of Protestantism in Europe. He was also a notable art collector, friend and patron of Titian and Leoni. ## Related artworks - [Andrea Doria \(obverse\), Leone Leoni \(reverse\)]() - [Bust of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V]() - [Bust of Mary of Hungary]() - [Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor]() - [Emperor Charles V]() - [Empress Isabella]() - [Empress Isabella]() - [Façade of the Casa degli Omenoni \(detail\)]() - [Façade of the Casa degli Omenoni \(detail\)]() - [Façade of the Casa degli Omenoni]() - [Ferrante Gonzaga, Count of Guastalla \(back side\)]() - [Ferrante Gonzaga, Count of Guastalla \(front side\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
