Around 1510 -1560 · Venice, Rome and pontifical image
From the portraits of Paul III to the evocations of Julius II and Alexander VI, Titian confronts papal authority with aging, the family and political strategy.
The pontifical portrait becomes for Titian an exercise in truth as much as in representation. Paul III Farnese appears alone, emaciated, lively and enveloped in the red of the charge; with his grandsons Alessandro and Ottavio, he becomes the center of a dynastic scene where reverence, calculation and fragility intersect. The portrait of Sixtus IV refers to an earlier papacy, while Julius II recalls the powerful model developed by Raphael then taken up in workshop culture. Jacopo Pesaro presented to Saint Peter by Alexander VI finally broadens the subject: the pope is no longer just a model, but a political and religious mediator in an image of victory. The selection "Popes by Titian" notably compares Portrait of Pope Paul III with his grandsons and Portrait of Pope Paul III. Its reading favors light.
Titian paints purple, but he shows what it is not enough to contain: age, distrust, inheritance and family power.
