Description
English: Portrait of Guidobaldo II della Rovere (1514-1574) and his son Francesco Maria II della Rovere, Duke of Urbino (1549-1631).
"This portrait is one of only a handful of whole-lengths by Titian. Venetian convention discouraged statements of the kind and, with the possible exception of the portrait in the Uffizi (Wethey, op. cit., no. 52), wrongly identified as of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, all the artist’s whole-lengths are of sitters of elevated rank: the three portraits of the Emperor Charles V (Madrid, Prado; and Munich, Alte Pinakothek); that of his son, King Philip II of Spain (fig. 2; Madrid, Prado), of which there are two partly autograph variants (Naples, Museo di Capodimonte; and Florence, Palazzo Pitti); the portrait of Giovanni Francesco Acquaviva d’Aragona, exiled Duke of Atri (Kassel, Staatliche Kunstsammlung); that of Cardinal Cristoforo Madruzzo, who exercised secular power as Bishop of Trent (Sao Paolo, Museu de Arte de São Paulo); The Allocution of Alfonso d’Avalos, Marchese del Vasto (Madrid, Prado); The Vendramin Family in Adoration of a Relic of the True Cross (London, National Gallery), a statement of religious devotion as much as a strict portrait group; the Farnese group (referred to above); and the present picture, which is the only work of the kind not held by a public institution."
