Background
The work was completed by Titian during a meeting with Paul III in Ferrara, in April 1543 during a period of tension and political uncertainty leading up to the Council of Trent.[2]
The pope is depicted with unflinching realism and an old, tired and distrustful man, but who nevertheless has an intelligent and sharp expression. The painting is a reinterpretation of Raphael's Portrait of Pope Julius II. Characteristic of Titian's late style, it consists of broad brushstroke and loose definition in the form. The artist produced a slightly later variant two years later, also preserved in Naples, which shows Paul III wearing a camauro.
The portrait of was inherited by Elisabeth Farnese, mother of Charles of Bourbon, who took it to Naples in 1734 to be exhibited in the palace of Capodimonte, where it remains today.
There are several replicas of the same painting. One of them, preserved in the cathedral of Toledo, was traditionally attributed to Titian, who would have made it two years after the original. However, this attribution has been rejected by some authors, who have identified it as a later replica, possibly made by Anthony van Dyck.[3]
