Man with blue quilted sleeve c 1510, masterpiece by Titian, greatest Renaissance artist of Venetian school, pupil of Bellini; died #OTD 1576. The subtle shadows, turning pose, projecting sleeve, stone parapet with artist’s monogram, inspired Rembrandt’s self-portrait of 1640. National Gallery London

The identity of the sitter remains problematic. Thought to be a self-portrait of Titian, other sitters have been proposed, such as Ariosto, or more recently, Gerolamo Barbarigo. The identity of the artist has also been questioned, with Giorgione being the most common early attribution. Titian was thought to have been the pupil of Gentile Bellini, and then his brother Giovanni, but as with so many of the biographical details of the artist’s life, there is still uncertainty.
