	Titian - Olga's Gallery
		Titian or Tiziano Vecellio was born in a small alpine village of Pieve di Cadore, now not far from the Austrian border, where his family lived for many years.
		In about 1498, at the age of nine or ten, Titian and his elder brother Francesco were sent to Venice to start their training as painters in the workshop of the mosaicist Sebastiano Zuccato.
		Though soon Titian left his workshop and began studying painting in the workshops of Gentile Bellini and Giovanni Bellini.

	Titian - MSN Encarta
		Titian (1477?-1576), the greatest 16th-century Venetian painter and the shaper of the Venetian coloristic and painterly tradition.
		Titian, whose name in Italian is Tiziano Vecellio, was born in Pieve di Cadore, north of Venice, by his own account in 1477; many modern scholars prefer to advance the date to about 1487.
		Titian's paintings of the 1530s are marked by relative quiet, pictorial subtlety, and coloristic refinement, as exemplified by the Venus of Urbino (1538, Uffizi, Florence), a revision of Giorgione's Sleeping Venus (circa 1510, Gemäldegalerie, Dresden).

	Titian
		Titian, therefore, was not in any sense a Venetian of the lagoons and Adriatic, but was native to a country, and a range of association, perception and observation, of a directly different kind.
		Titian, one of a family of four, and son of Gregorio Vecelli, a distinguished councillor and soldier, and of his wife Lucia, was born in 1477.
		Titian's province is that of oil painting, and of painting on a scale which, though often large and grand, is not colossal either in dimension or in inspiration.

	Biography
		Titian's first major independent commission was for three frescoes on the life of St Antony of Padua in the Scuola del Santo, Padua (1511), noble and dignified paintings suggesting an almost central Italian firmness and monumentality.
		Titian was recognized as a towering genius in his own time (Lomazzo described him as the 'sun amidst small stars not only among the Italians but all the painters of the world') and his reputation as one of the giants of art has never been seriously questioned.
		Titian, however, was lavish in his hospitality towards his friends, who included the poet Pietro Aretino and the sculptor and architect Jacopo Sansovino.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Titian
		Titian was to give them a still freer and fuller expression with an external charm and a magic of colouring which has sometimes raised the question whether he is not the greatest and most complete of all painters.
		At the age of ten Titian was brought to Venice and placed by his brother with the celebrated mosaicist, Sebastian Zuccato, but at the end of four or five years he entered the studio of the aged painter Giovanni Bellini, at that time the most noted artist in the city.
		Among portrait-painters Titian is comparable only to the greatest, a Rembrandt or a Velásquez, with the interior life of the former, and the clearness, certainty, and obviousness of the latter.

	Titian
		Titian is regarded the greatest 16th-century Venetian painter and the shaper of the Venetian colouristic and painterly tradition, making him one of the key figures in the history of Western art.
		Titian was one of the first painters to use oil on canvas instead of wood.
		The reason to maintain the incorrect assertion about Titian's birth year is allegedly to justify the relatively large output of paintings [in spite of his age] in his so-called late period after 1555-60, which nearly doubled, or rather tripled, after Titian's youngest son Orazio took over the management of the family business.

	Biography
		Titian is considered to have been the greatest 16th-century Venetian painter, and the shaper of the Venetian coloristic and painterly tradition.
		The progression culminated in three bacchanals that Titian painted for a room in Duke Alfonso d'Este's palace in Ferrara between 1518 and 1522 (Worship of Venus and Bacchanal of the Andrians, both now in the Prado, Madrid; and Bacchus and Ariadne, now in the National Gallery, London).
		Titian's paintings of the 1530s are marked by relative quiet, pictorial subtlety, and coloristic refinement, as exemplified by the Venus of Urbino (1538-39, Uffizi, Florence, a revision of Giorgione's Sleeping Venus (circa 1510, Gemäldegalerie, Dresden).

	Titian
		But for Titian the "things" to be understood and represented were not only the physical semblance or the psychological peculiarities of the sitter, or the various objects and props - clothes, jewels, armor which had their own role and meaning.
		And so one is justified in the belief that in Titian's portraits the pope and the emperor, the doge and the Marquis of Mantua, recognized themselves not only in the flesh, but also in the guise of all that they represented.
		This is the case, for example in the famous canvas of Pope Paul III Farnese with his nephews and the Pierluigi Farnese: the latter is enclosed in his armor, his face devastated by disease but imprinted with fervent resolution, an image full of drama that is "almost Shakespearean in its intensity" (Pallucchini).

		The outstanding painter of his era, Titian redefined painting and developed a style that not only determined the direction of Venetian painting for the next two centuries but profoundly influenced the work of geniuses distant in time and place, such as Rubens, Velázquez, and Rembrandt.
		Titian's sympathy for the sitter is apparent in the sensitivity with which he portrays this handsome, convivial, and robust young nobleman.
		Titian also took great care with the rich costume of the man but, through unfortunate overcleaning, carried out before the painting entered Joslyn's collection, much of the artist's characteristic subtlety has been lost.

		Titian made the means of painting important and visible - both the brushwork that communicated his feeling about his subject, and the rough canvas that allowed him to create texture and surface.
		Titian's painting technique depended on being able to buy pigments of the highest quality; these were available on his doorstep in Venice - his wealthy clientele enabled him to afford them, too.
		Aretino was a ruthless social operator in Renaissance Italy, and his letters promoting the excellence of Titian's painting, published and circulated round the courts of Europe, nurtured Titian's career and reputation, bringing the painter all-important contacts with rich and influential patrons.

		It was in 1515 that Titian began to produce masterpieces, and he was soon the leading figure in Venetian painting.
		Because of his late use of this style, Titian is known centuries later as the "father of modern painting." Titian lived a very long life and painted to almost the last day of his life.

		Titian contributed to all of the major areas of Renaissance art, painting altarpieces, portraits, mythologies, and pastoral landscapes with figures.
		The latter, with whom Titian also collaborated, was influential for his tonal approach to painting and for his landscape style, which was atmospheric and evocative.
		Titian's portraits are remarkable for the way in which they seem to express a psychological dimension while also suggesting something of the sitter's status and importance.

	Titian (Getty Museum)
		A biographer related a telling story about Titian: Emperor Charles V once picked up a brush for him, to which Titian responded, "Sire, I am not worthy of such a servant." The Emperor replied, "Titian is worthy to be served by Caesar." Only Michelangelo's closeness with the popes compares.
		Titian's portraits combined incisive, sensitive characterizations with an opulent treatment of accessories, eventually developing into the official style that inspired Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and many artists of the 1800s.
		After 1555 Titian painted mythological works for Philip II of Spain, rising to new heights in creating sensuous flesh, with colors flowing in harmony rather than contrasting boldly as in his youth.

		It took Titian two years (1516-18) to complete the great fresco of Assunta, whose dynamic three-tier composition and gorgeous color scheme established him as the greatest Italian painter north of Rome.
		Giorgione died in 1510 and the aged Bellini, 1516, leaving Titian unrivaled in the Venetian School.
		Francesco Vecelli, his elder brother, was introduced to painting by Titian (it is said at the age of twelve, but chronology will hardly admit of this), and painted in the church of S. Vito in Cadore a picture of the titular saint armed.

	VASARI TITIAN
		TITIAN was born in the little town of Cadore, on the Piave, five miles from the Alps.
		Then, as soon as Titian had set to work, Alfonso placed himself where he could not be seen by him, and taking out a little box, he modelled in gypsum a portrait medallion of the emperor, and had just brought it to completion when Titian had finished his portrait.
		Thus Titian having adorned Venice, or rather Italy, and indeed other parts of the world, with the finest pictures, deserves to be loved and studied by artists, and in many things imitated, for he has done works worthy of infinite praise, which will last as long as illustrious men are remembered.
