Now available in a flexi-cover edition, this book offers a multi-dimensional exploration of Titian’s life and art.
One of the original celebrity artists, Titian was as famous for his beguiling personality as he was for his masterful paintings. This book introduces readers to the Venetian artist with an innovative format that marries Titian’s voice with his works, allowing the artist’s own words to deepen the appreciation of his achievements. An illustrated timeline and a pictorial tour of the galleries where his works now reside reveal how this contemporary of Michelangelo and Raphael broke new ground in nearly every genre of painting: portraiture, altar pieces, the rendering of mythological themes, frescoes, and pastoral landscapes. Numerous superb reproductions illuminate not just the breadth of his oeuvre, but also the mastery with which he employed light and color to lend his paintings the sensuous energy for which he is so admired. Norbert Wolf’s engaging text unlocks many of the mysteries surrounding Titian’s celebrity, making this journey into the artist’s world as intriguing as it is informative.
