Titian (c. 1485-1576) is best known for his portraits and
mythological and religious works. Yet his first great achievement
was to refashion the portrayal of nature in his own distinctive
style. He did this by studying the work of Albrecht Durer, whose
naturalistic paintings of plants, animals, and landscape had caused
a sensation in Venice in the first decade of the 16th century. In
this beautifully illustrated book, Antonio Mazzotta presents this
experience, together with Titian's native landscape of Pieve di
Cadore, as crucial influences in the artist's early representation
of nature. The recently restored Flight into Egypt (now in the
State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg)-probably painted when
Titian was still a teenager-is vivid proof of his interest in the
depiction of animals, plants, and figures in the landscape. The
author shows how Titian's contemporaries Bellini, Giorgione, and
del Piombo also influenced his unique and innovative approach to
painting nature. Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed
