Titian

<p>Immerse yourself in the rich shades and textures of<strong> Tiziano Vecellio</strong> (c. 1490–1576), commonly known as <strong>Titian</strong>, and the <strong>figurehead of 16th-century Venetian painting</strong>. With his <strong>bold approach to form and startling, opulent colors</strong>, Titian worked with a number of prestigious commissions and left behind an astonishing repertoire of portraits, mythological scenes, altarpieces, and landscapes that remains one of the <strong>most important legacies of Renaissance art</strong>.<br /><br /> This dependable artist introduction traces <strong>Titian’s complete career and its trailblazing influence </strong>on successive generations of artists, from Diego Velázquez to van Dyck. From the rippling sensuality of <em>Venus of Urbino </em>(c. 1538) to the airborne dynamism of <em>Bacchus and Ariadne </em>(1520–1523), all the major works are here, charting the artist’s stylistic experimentation over time as well as his consistent and unique ability to <strong>work across genres </strong>and to bring a defining <strong>new level of emotional and spiritual aspect</strong> to his subjects.</p>
