After Vasari's Lives of the Most Famous Artists, The Life of
Titian by the seventeenth-century Venetian artist and writer Carlo
Ridolfi is the most important contemporary documentary source for
our understanding of the great Renaissance artist. This new
critical edition, the first translation into English of Ridolfi's
biography, illuminates his life, his artistic production, and his
early critical reputation. The editors address art-historical
questions of attribution, provenance, and documentation that
Ridolfi's biography raises. Two introductory essays present the
nature, scope, and importance of the biography for the study of
Titian and Venetian Renaissance art and place Ridolfi in the
tradition of Renaissance biography and artistic literature. The
annotations provide a useful and current bibliography drawn from
both art history and literature.
The Life of Titian will be of interest to a wide audience of
scholars and students of the history of Renaissance art,
literature, language, and culture.
