The sitter is Gian Giacomo Bartolotti \(1465/70-1530\), the scion of a well-known family of physicians active in various towns - Bologna, Cremona and Venice - in northern Italy. Titian shows the half-length figure of the greying, slightly tousled man in his prime against a dark background. Over his crimson velvet jacket which allows his shirt to show, he wears a broad-sleeved black robe. His left hand adorned with two rings grasps a grey stole cast over his left shoulder. ## Related artworks - [A Knight of Malta]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Allegory of Time Governed by Prudence]() - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle \(detail\)]() - [Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
