Titian

by Ian Kennedy

Overview

Immerse yourself in the rich shades and textures of the mighty Titian, the most important member of the Venetian High Renaissance. From the rippling sensuality of Venus of Urbino to the airborne dynamism of Bacchus and Ariadne, Titian pioneered startling, opulent color and a bold new approach to form in a stunning repertoire of portraits, altarpieces, mythological scenes, and more.
