Portrait of Doge Andrea Gritti is an oil painting by the Venetian master Titian, painted in the late 1540s, which is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a portrait of Andrea Gritti, who was doge of Venice from 1523 to his death in 1538. A posthumous portrait, it is likely based on earlier depictions of the Doge, including one executed by Titian between 1537 and 1540 for Sala del Maggior Consiglio and destroyed during a fire in 1577.[1]
