Portrait of Federico II Gonzaga (c. 1529) is a painting by Titian, who signed it Ticianus f.. Today in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, it portrays Federico II, Duke of Mantua who married in 1529; the portrait may have been commissioned for the occasion. The dog, a Maltese, is a symbol of faithfulness.[1]
The work is mentioned in a 1666 inventory of the Royal Alcázar of Madrid, coming from the collection of the Marquess of Leganés. Previous owners included Charles I of England, who purchased many paintings from the Gonzaga collection.
