Classical Art Series Titian. The Complete Paintings
Titian had his heyday in the early sixteenth century. A prominent painter from vivid Venice, he left his mark on European painting from that time, and long after. Rubens and Van Dyck were greatly inspired by his work. And just look at Edouard Manet's 'Olympia', which is an explicit reference to Titian's 'Venus of Urbino'. Even the work of Francis Bacon wouldn't be what it is if it weren't for Titian's influence.Especially the way Titian used colour and light influenced many masters after him. And whether his paintings treated mythological or religous themes, whether they were portraits or landscapes: Titian combined man and nature in harmony and brilliant colours.In this book you will find his complete paintings, with many fascinating details, in-depth comments on his work, and a clear historical insight in Titian's era and environment. An index with museums that have his work in their collections, as well as an elaborate biography, complete the book.The design is splendid, its form compact, the print marvellous. This to render the best possible homage to the work of one of the most important, influential and creative painters of all time.
