Nicolò Zen was a Savio di terraferma and a Knight (either of which would account for the colour of his robe), a member of the Council of Ten and had served as ambassador to Charles V in 1545. He was also an author, and a friend of the publisher Francesco Marcolini, and of such patrons of Titian as Pietro Aretino and Daniele Barbaro.
