Portrait of the Nuremburg Merchant and Collector Willibald Imhoff the Elder (1519-1580) 1550 - 1570

Titian's "Portrait of the Nuremburg Merchant and Collector Willibald Imhoff the Elder (1519-1580)" is a striking example of the artist's mastery of portraiture. Painted between 1550 and 1570, the work captures the sitter's presence with a realistic depiction of his features and a sense of quiet dignity. The dark background and rich textures of Imhoff's clothing create a sense of depth and gravitas, emphasizing his status as a successful merchant and art collector. This painting is a testament to Titian's ability to portray the individual within the context of their time and place.
