Portrait Of Jacopo Sannazaro By Titian At The Queen`s Gallery In London England Editorial Photo

The Royal Collection of the British royal family is the largest private art collection in the world. This imposing portrait shows a nobleman gazing fixedly forward, lost in thought, his finger tucked into a book to keep his place. It has been suggested that he is the Neapolitan poet and humanist Jacopo Sannazaro. The fact that the sitter has his finger in a book links him with portraits of humanists and writers.
