Titian
Titian
1488/1490-1576
Tiziano Vecellio. Venetian School. Born c. 1477; died 1576. He was probably a pupil of Giovanni Bellini and was strongly influenced by Giorgione. He had the satisfaction of ranking for about sixty years as the greatest Venetian painter. His 'tonal' method of painting remained dominant for generations thereafter and continues to be influential. Titian enjoyed the patronage of the great Italian families of his time (the Este, the Farnese, the Gonzaga, the della Rovere), of the King of France, and above all of the two Hapsburg emperors Charles V, who ennobled him, and Philip II. His talent, industry, achievement, and success were in remarkable conjunction. The high regard in which his work has always been held accounts for the fairly complete survival of his production – including his frequent repetition of his own designs, and students' copies of his originals touched up by him. Thus the existence of an undoubted Titian does not exclude the possibility of his work in other versions and variants.
