# Portrait of Philip II [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TIZIANO Vecellio]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 185 x 103 cm ## Commentary Portrait of Philip II c. 1554 Oil on canvas, 185 x 103 cm Galleria Palatina \(Palazzo Pitti\), Florence Most of this painting must be attributed to a particularly able member of Titian's workshop. Here, the face of Philip II is made to appear handsome. The entire method of painting is considerably more detailed than in Titian's own Prado portrait of Philip, so it is thought that this portrait was painted by an associate of Titian's from north of the Alps. Philip II may well have been more satisfied with this version, as he had complained to his aunt, Queen Mary of Hungary, about the imprecise execution of his portrait. ## 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]()
