Titian’s Danae..a “new” self-portrait
Titian, Danae (detail of Titian's face) Prado
I've found a clearer image of Titian's own face, a previously unseen self-portrait, made from the clouds in his Prado Danae. You can see the tip of his nose in the center of this image, his far eye quite clearly indicated above it and slightly to the left. The curved bottom to his beard is formed and shaded by some of the coins below.
