TIZIANO Vecellio: Self-Portrait

🖼 Self-Portrait, c. 1566
Oil on canvas
86 × 69 cm
Madrid, Spain

Rendered in warm ochres and shadows, an elderly man gazes directly outward, his brushwork loose yet commanding. Titian's late self-portrait captures artistic mastery at eighty-eight, asserting creative authority through psychological intensity and dignified presence.
