The most exhilarating painter of the Renaissance and arguably of
the whole of western art, Tintoretto was known as Il Furioso
because of the attack and energy of his style. His vaunting
ambition is recorded in the inscription he placed in his studio: l
disegno di Michelangelo ed il colorito di Tiziano ("Michelangelo's
drawing and Titian's colour"). The Florentines Vasari and Borghini,
and the Venetians Ridolfi and Boschini wrote the earliest
biographies of the artist. The four accounts are related to each
other and form the backbone of the critical success of Tintoretto.
Borghini is the first one to give some information about Marietta
Tintoretto, also an artist, and Ridolfi is the richest in anecdotes
about the artist's life and personality - including the one about
the inscription which he may, however, have invented. Boschini, a
witty Venetian nationalist, wrote his account in dialect verse. El
Greco, whose marginal notes to Vasari are included for the first
time in English, Calmo and Franco knew Tintoretto personally and
their writings give a real flavour of this complicated man.
Unavailable in any form for many years, these biographies have been
newly edited for this edition. They are introduced by the scholar
Carlo Corsato, who places each in its artistic and literary
context. Approximately 50 pages of colour illustrations cover the
full range of Tintoretto's astonishing output.

Titian (c. 1488-1576) was recognised very early on as the leading
painter of his generation in Venice. Starting in the studio of the
aged Giovanni Bellini, Titian, with his contemporary Giorgione,
almost immediately started to expand the range of what was possible
in painting, converting Bellini's statuesque style into something
far more impressionistic and romantic. This restless spirit of
innovation and improvisation never left him, and during his long
life he experimented with a number of different styles, the
brushwork of his last great paintings showing a mysterious poetry
that has never been equalled. This volume in the series Lives of
the Artists collects the major writings about Titian by his
contemporaries and near contemporaries. The centrepiece is the
biography by Vasari, who as a Florentine found Titian's very
Venetian sense of colour and transient forms a challenge to his
concept of art as design. The poet Ariosto and sparkling letter
writer Aretino had a more nuanced view of their friend's work, and
Priscianese's account of a dinner party with Titian, and the
contributions by Speroni and Dolce, and the slightly later Tuscan
critic Borghini, round out the picture of this hugely thoughtful,
intellectual artist, whose paintings remain some of the most
sensual and affecting in all of Western art. Mostly unavailable in
any form for many years, these writings have been newly edited for
this edition. They are introduced by the scholar Carlo Corsato, who
places each in its artistic and literary context. Approximately 50
pages of colour illustrations cover the full range of Titian's
great oeuvre.
