Tiziano Vecellio (c.1488-1576), known in English simply as Titian, was a remarkably versatile Venetian painter who, unlike many artists from history whose work has been appreciated only after their death, enjoyed fame and success throughout his seven decades as an artist. In addition to his pagan mythological themes, his skill as a portrait painter also won him many prestigious commissions, while his renown as a painter of religious subjects resulted in the creation of high-profile altarpieces, as well as individual works for private patrons. This monograph offers 169 color reproductions, 9 full-page detail views, and 2 two-page details.
