The Portrait of the Vendramin Family is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Titian, executed around 1543-1547. It presently hangs in the National Gallery in London. The canvas was commissioned by the noble Vendramin family, and portrays, as dictated by Venetian custom, only male members of the dynasty. It includes the brothers Andrea and Gabriele Vendramin, and Andrea's seven sons. However Andrea was apparently only three years older than Gabriele, which one would not think from the two figures here. It remains uncertain which brother is which. Andrea may have been painted posthumously following his death in 1547. The sons are Lunardo (the eldest, bearded, who also died in 1547), then standing on the left Luca, Francesco and Bartolo (added later by another artist), and on the right Giovanni, Filippo and Federico.
