After Titiano Vecello, known as Titian (Italian, 1485-1576) Self Portait of Titian with Andrea dei Franceschi, Grand Chancellor of Venice oil on canvas 86 x 96cm (33.54 x 37.44in) Provenance: Captain Eric Noble, Park Place, Remenham, Berkshire, by 1900, and by descent within the family Titian’s original was bought by Charles I and remains in the Royal Collection at Hampton Court Palace. Its mystery inspired the playwright Alan Bennett to write his play A Question of Attribution in 1991. Anthony Blunt, Surveyor of the Queen’s Paintings, suggested that the Titian be cleaned in 1957. X-Rays revealed a third face - cleaning uncovered a third figure on the right-hand side. The identity of the third figure and why it was painted out some 400 years ago remains a mystery. Bennett used the painting as a means of allusion to Blunt’s “Third Man” identity in the Burgess/Maclean/Philby spy ring. Blunt was exposed as a spy in 1979. The Titian from the Royal Collection was exhibited three times in the 19th Century and contemporary copyists took advantage of this. Several copies are known - one at Hardwick in Derbyshire and a second sold at the Cobham Hall sale in 1957
