"Portrait of Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, III Duke of Alba" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian master Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian, one of the leading figures of the Venetian school of the Italian Renaissance. This portrait, which dates back to circa 1548, captures Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo (1507–1582), the third Duke of Alba, a prominent military figure and statesman in the service of the Spanish Habsburg monarchy. The Duke of Alba is depicted in a three-quarter length format, which was a common convention in portraiture of the time, allowing the artist to showcase the sitter's stature and attire while also providing insight into his character.

Titian's portrayal of the Duke is notable for its psychological depth and the dignified representation of his subject, which was characteristic of Titian's approach to portraiture. The Duke is shown in armor, symbolizing his military prowess and high rank, with a baton in hand, indicative of his command and authority. The muted color palette and controlled brushwork emphasize the sitter's resolute expression and the textures of his luxurious garments and armor.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it was created during a period when the Duke of Alba was at the height of his power, having been instrumental in several military campaigns and serving as a key advisor to Emperor Charles V and later his son, Philip II of Spain. The portrait thus serves as a testament to the power and influence of the Spanish Habsburgs in 16th-century Europe and reflects the cultural and political ties between Italy and Spain during the Renaissance.

Today, the "Portrait of Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, III Duke of Alba" is held in high esteem as a masterpiece of Renaissance portraiture, exemplifying Titian's skill in capturing the essence of his sitters and his mastery of color and form. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic excellence.
