Excellent- More about Titian's Man in a Red Hat
The Frick portrait is a mysterious young man with a rich dress and a contemplative mood, reminiscent of Titian's Venetian contemporary Giorgione. It epitomizes a new tendency in Italian Renaissance portraiture, intended as an encounter with the sitter rather than a description.

However, no definitive identification has been established for the young man depicted in this portrait, who is seen sitting contemplatively while dressed elegantly. While various theories have been put forth regarding his identity, none have been proven conclusively. The subject's serene demeanor and the soft, diffused play of light across the broadly painted surfaces evoke a strong resemblance to Titian's Venetian contemporary, Giorgione. In many ways, the Frick portrait exemplifies a novel approach to Italian Renaissance portraiture, where the focus is less on depicting the sitter as a precise description and more on engaging with them on a deeper level. Accompanying the portrait is a substantial contribution by artist Elizabeth Peyton, along with an insightful essay by Giulio Dalvit, which delves into the intricate questions of provenance, chronology, attribution, and the potential identity of this enigmatic young man.
