Portrait of jacopo sannazaro (1458-1530) c. 1514-1518; oil on canvas, 85. 7 x 72. 7 cm; the queen's gallery, buckingham palace. Note: the sitter has his finger in a book which links him with portraits of humanists and writers. Various literary candidates have been suggested over the years: a seventeenth-century print after this portrait, by cornelius van dalen the younger, is labelled as giovanni boccaccio; in the nineteenth century the portrait was variously identified as alessandro de medici, duke of florence and pietro aretino. The name jacopo sannazaro was first proposed in 1895. The suggestion accords with an early copy of the painting (walker art gallery, liverpool) inscribed sincerus sannzarius: actius sincerus was a pseudonym much used by sannazaro. Object Type: painting.
