Filippo Archinto (born about 1500, died 1558), Archbishop of Milan. Artist: Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (Italian, Pieve di Cadore ca. 1485/90-1576 Venice). Dimensions: 46 1/2 x 37 in. (118.1 x 94 cm). Date: mid-1550s.The Milanese Filippo Archinto was a remarkable Catholic cleric who attended the Council of Trent and zealously fought against heresy. Titian painted him when Archinto served as papal nuncio in Venice. Soon afterwards, he was confirmed as Archbishop of Milan, but intrigue worthy of the theater kept him from taking up his role and he died in exile. Titian's portrayal of him is subtle, capturing the power of the sitter's personality and intelligence, and suggesting the textures of his white gown and deep red <i>mozzetto</i>, or cape, with lively brushstrokes. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
