Titian’s signature

The Vienna Danae is the only Danae Titian signs. It shows him to be a knight of the Golden Spur, the second highest honour awarded for special services to the Catholic Church. This is presented personally to Titian by Pope Clement VII in 1533. At the same time Emperor Charles V makes him a hereditary noble and painter to the imperial court.
