Portrait of Benedetto Varchi, also called Portrait of a Man, is an oil painting by Titian. It was painted in around 1540, and hangs today in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Analysis[edit]

According to Walter Gronau, the indication that the person here represented is Benedetto Varchi, the Florentine historian and humanist scholar, seems in no way proved.[1] It is signed "Titianus F.", with some repainting.[2] Though restored, Gronau thinks it a genuine work by Titian. From the style, he thinks that this portrait must have been painted about 1550, possibly somewhat later.[1] The Kunsthistorisches Museum, however, identifies the sitter as Benedetto Varchi without any qualification, and states that it was probably painted during his stay in Venice in 1536–1540.[3]
