Tiziano Vecellio was born at Pieve di Cadore, probably sometime between 1488 and 1490. Upon arriving in Venice, he entered the workshop of Sebastiano Zuccato, and from there the workshop of Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, the leading artists of the day. Titian was very interested in the works of the northern artists then in Venice, and would became friendly with a number of German artists so that he could learn from them the secrets of landscape painting. He also used to study animals from life, two elements, which can be seen in the painting of The Flight into Egypt. Titian examines the life of this great Venetian painter who embraces the esoteric themes of the learned humanist circles but also turned his skill to religious subjects. The book is divided into a number of sections, including Titian's work for the Venetian State, his relationship with Mannerist painting, and works commissioned by Charles V and Philip II. His paintings are produced in full colour, including Bacchus and Ariadne (1523/24)

Seller's Description:
VG/VG, small tears to bottom corner of dj and top of spine. Black cloth with clack, color pictorial dustjacket. 336 pp., 269+ mostly color plates. "In the quarter century since the last catalogue raisonne of Titian, more research has been carried out on the painter than in the whole of the previous four hundred years. New documentation has come to light, pictures have been cleaned and major exhibitions have allowed for scrupulous comparisons to be made. As a result, Titian's whole oeuvre has been reassessed, many old questions of attribution have settled-and a few new ones raised. This new book is the first work to encompass his entire oeuvre." "Titian's place as one of the giants of Western culture has never been in doubt. He represents the culmination of the Venetian school, evolving a technique of free, spontaneous brushwork and a rendering of form through color that amazed his contemporaries and is now seen by some as foreshadowing Impressionism. In a long life of nearly ninety years he painted hundreds of canvases, ranging from moving and intense religious images, through penetratingly psychological portraits (including Charles V and Philip II of Spain) to sensuously erotic mythological scenes like Bacchus and Adriadne and the Venus of Urbino. Over 250 paintings are now attributed to him. All are illustrated here with detailed commentaries giving the circumstances of their commission, their subsequent history and stylistic analysis. Also included is an exhaustive bibliography. The fruit of many years' research, Titian is a monument of scholarship that will remain definitive for the forseeable future."--Jacket. Contents as follows: Foreword / Terisio Pignatti--The life and work of Titian. Critical reception; The problem of Titian's date of birth; Titian's training and first works; The frescoes of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi; Titian and Giorgione; The frescoes of the Scuola del Santo in Padua; The "Prince of painters"; "People began to be amazed by the new style"; Titian, Sansovino and Aretino; Titian and mannerism; Titian and the Farnese family; Charles V and Philip II; The final phase--Catalogue of the paintings--Bibliography--Index of titles and works--Index of locations--Acknowledgments for photographs.
