The Portrait of Pietro Aretino is an oil on canvas portrait of the Renaissance poet Pietro Aretino by Titian, painted around 1545, possibly for Cosimo I de' Medici. It is now in the Sala di Venere of Palazzo Pitti in Florence.[1] Titian painted two other portraits of Aretino: a 1527 portrait in the Kunstmuseum Basel,[2] and a 1537 portrait in the Frick Collection.[3]
