Explore the vibrant hues and intricate details of Tiziano Vecellio (c. 1490-1576), also known as Titian, a prominent figure in 16th-century Venetian painting. His daring techniques and lavish use of color made him a sought-after artist for notable projects, leaving behind a remarkable collection of portraits, mythical depictions, religious works, and landscapes that continue to be a significant influence in the realm of Renaissance artwork.

This comprehensive artist's biography chronicles Titian's entire career and its pioneering impact on future generations of artists, starting with Diego Velázquez and continuing through van Dyck. All of his major works are featured, showcasing the artist's progressive style evolution and his unparalleled skill in seamlessly transitioning between genres, while infusing his subjects with a groundbreaking level of emotional and spiritual depth, as seen in the rippling sensuality of Venus of Urbino (c. 1538) and the airborne dynamism of Bacchus and Ariadne (1520-1523).
