Dalla sensualità increspata della Venere di Urbino al dinamismo aereo di Bacco e Arianna, Tiziano è stato il pioniere di un colore sorprendente e opulento e di un nuovo approccio alla forma in uno straordinario repertorio di ritratti, pale d'altare, scene mitologiche e altro ancora.
Titian
20The Venetian Virtuoso
Titian, Renaissance master of form and color
Immerse yourself in the rich shades and textures of Tiziano Vecellio (c. 1490–1576), commonly known as Titian, and the figurehead of 16th-century Venetian painting. With his bold approach to form and startling, opulent colors, Titian worked with a number of prestigious commissions and left behind an astonishing repertoire of portraits, mythological scenes, altarpieces, and landscapes that remains one of the most important legacies of Renaissance art.
This dependable artist introduction traces Titian’s complete career and its trailblazing influence on successive generations of artists, from Diego Velázquez to van Dyck. From the rippling sensuality of Venus of Urbino (c. 1538) to the airborne dynamism of Bacchus and Ariadne (1520–1523), all the major works are here, charting the artist’s stylistic experimentation over time as well as his consistent and unique ability to work across genres and to bring a defining new level of emotional and spiritual aspect to his subjects.

This little series of books might not be the pièce de résistance of your collection, but it can be a great source of knowledge and overview of an artist's life. I highly recommend the whole collection to any artist, art admirer or simply curious readers.
