Authorship

[edit]

There's an entire section (§ Attribution, date and condition) in the article that starts off with The work's attribution and dating are based on its style, its ambiguous signature, and comparison with other Titian works and goes on to say "TV" might be Titian's and the signature had been added to by a later hand, so that it read TITIANUS. So shouldn't we lead off with something more conservative like "attributed to Titian" instead? howcheng {chat} 17:45, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No we should absolutely should not. The painting has been much discussed, and the authorship, unlike the the sitter, has never been seriously questioned for many decades, or any other painter suggested. Many, many paintings had hopeful old attributions to Giorgione, which are now disregarded. "Attributed to" means something very different and is the purest OR. Few paintings of this period, especially portraits, have original signatures. Johnbod (talk) 18:05, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A Man with a Quilted Sleeve
A Man with a Quilted Sleeve is a portrait painting by the Venetian painter Titian in the National Gallery in London. The identity of the subject is unknown. For many years, it was thought to be the poet Ludovico Ariosto. More recent research suggests that it may be of a man from the Barbarigo family of Venice, or even a self-portrait. Rembrandt copied the pose for his own Self-portrait at the age of 34.Painting: Titian
