Overview
Discover the sumptuous color and commanding presence of Titian (c. 1488–1576), the Venetian Renaissance master whose portraits, mythological scenes, religious paintings, and poetic landscapes influenced artists for centuries. This pocket guide follows his long and celebrated career, revealing what to look for in his glowing color, richly layered paint, atmospheric settings, expressive figures, and increasingly free brushwork. Learn how Titian served popes, emperors, and princes while continually reinventing his art and expanding the emotional possibilities of painting. Biographical insights, fascinating anecdotes, a personal portrait, and memorable quotations illuminate his ambition, reputation, and working methods. A spotlight on one acclaimed masterpiece offers a closer examination of its composition, symbolism, and extraordinary handling of color. With more than 65 full-color reproductions, this beautifully designed volume provides an inspiring introduction to one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance and a foundational figure in the history of European art.
