The first biography since 1877 of Venice's greatest artist - a
towering work which captures the genius of Titian, beautifully
illustrated throughout with full colour plates. Devoted father and
loyal friend, Titian was notorious for disregarding authority and
was an international celebrity by his late fifties. He was famously
difficult but his stubbornness and horrendous timekeeping did
nothing to deter his patrons who included the Hapsburgs, the Pope
and his family and Charles V. During his career, which spanned more
than seventy years, Titian painted around five or six hundred
pictures of which less than half survive. His work has been studied
by generations of great artists from Rubens to Manet and he is
often seen as having artistically transcended his own time. Sheila
Hale not only examines his life, both personal and professional,
but how his art affected his contemporaries and how it influences
artists today. She also examines Venice in its context of a city at
the time of the Renaissance, overshadowed artistically by Rome and
Florence and growing into the famous historical city it has become.
Fully illustrated with four colour plate sections (including his
famous works 'Reclining Venus', 'Death of Actaeon' and 'Three Ages
of Man'), this is an astonishing portrait of one of the most
important figures in the history of Western art and a vivid
evocation of Venice in its 'Golden Age'.
