Portrait (said to be) of Alessandro Braccesi

Vannucci Pietro called Perugino

(Città della Pieve 1450 - Fontignano 1524)

Described as a “murky copy after Perugino”, the painting, previously attributed to Titian as well, is a copy of the Uffizi portrait by the Umbrian master. In the nineteenth century the subject was identified as the Florentine notary Alessandro Braccesi (1445–1503). This identification was then rejected due to the irreconcilable nature of the historic data, as Braccesi was already the secretary of the Signoria – and therefore no longer in his twenties – by 1474. Stylistically the painting replicates Perugino’s typologies in a fairly superficial and stiff manner.
