The Three Ages of Man (Titian)

The Three Ages of Man (Italian Le tre età dell'uomo) is a painting by Titian, dated between 1512 and 1514, and now displayed at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.[2] From Giovanni Bernardi, the painting then came into possession of Cardinal Otto Truchsess von Waldburg, a leading figure at the Habsburg court and a prominent art patron.[1] The first concrete record of the painting dates to 1662, listed in the collection of Queen Christina of Sweden at Palazzo Riario in Rome.The Three Ages of Man is divided into three distinct life-stages representative each of the implications of psychological maturity that are likely to occur at each stage.[5] Her lover sits with his back arched similarly to the old man in the center of the composition, who is representative of old age, loss, and "the vanity of earthly existence" according to art historian Judith Dundas.
