It was produced c. 1550–54 judging by the age at which its subject is shown,[1] though its precise dating is unclear - Philip met the artist in Milan in 1549 during the monarch's first trip to Italy,[2] and again between 1550 and 1551 in Augsburg. Titian drew on his own Philip II in Armour (Prado Museum) for the work,[1] which may have been produced around 1554.[2]
An autographed copy of the Naples work hangs in the Palazzo Pitti, in Florence.[2][3]
