Description
Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian, was a master of 16th-century Venetian painting. His bold approach to form and striking colours resulted in an impressive range of portraits, mythological scenes, altarpieces, and landscapes. This book explores Titian's complete career, tracing his stylistic experimentation over time and his ability to work across genres. It features many of his major works, including the rippling sensuality of Venus of Urbino and the airborne dynamism of Bacchus and Ariadne. By examining Titian's art, this book charts the artist's trailblazing influence on successive generations of artists, from Diego Velázquez to van Dyck.
