Description :
Titian was a master of Renaissance painting and a genius at attracting powerful clients. Among these was Andrea deï¾ Franceschi (1473-1552)- the Grand Chancellor of the Venetian Republic. De' Franceschi was an elite government official at the top of his game who is also notable for his several portraits. One of theseï¾attributed to the workshop of Titianï¾is now at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. Using state of the art technology- Rebecca Norris- Ph.D.- and a collaborative team delved beneath the surface of the Andrea de' Franceschi portrait. X-rays- infrared reflectography- and pigment sampling revealed layers of evidence that align with Titianï¾s workshop practices. Some of the evidence may even point to Titian himself.
