Titian Biography

Italian Renaissance painter and draftsman
born circa 1488 - died 1576
Born in: Pieve di Cadore (Belluno province, Veneto, Italy).
Died in: Venice (Venetian province, Veneto, Italy)

Also known as: Tetiano, Thitsiaen, Ticiano, Tiçiano, Tishan, Tishian, Tisiano, Tissien, Titiaan, Titiaen, Titiano, Titiano da Cadore, Titien, Tizian, Tizian, Tiziano Vecellio da Cadore stato Veneto, Tiziano Vecellio di Cadore, Tiziano Vecellio, Tiziano Vecellio Di Gregorio, Ticiano Vecelio, Tiziano Vicelli.

Student of: Giovanni Bellini (1430-1516).

Member of: Vecellio family.
Biography: Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (c. 1485-1576). The greatest painter of the Venetian school.
The evidence for his birth date is contradictory, but he was certainly very old when he died. He received the more important part of his training in the studio of Giovanni Bellini, then came under the spell of Giorgione, with whom he had a close relationship. In 1506-08 Titian assisted him with the external fresco decoration of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, painting Titian in Venice, and after Giorgione's early death in 1510 it fell to the painter to complete a number of his unfinished paintings. The authorship of certain Titian works (some of them famous) is still disputed between them. The most famous Titian portrait is Venus of Urbino, Assumption of the Virgin.
This Titian art inaugurated a brilliant period in his creative career during which he produced splendid religious, mythological, and portrait paintings, original in conception and vivid with color and movement. A series of great altarpieces opens with the Assumption (Sta Maria dei Frari, Venice, 1516-18), which in the soaring movement of the Virgin, rising from the tempestuous group of Apostles towards the hovering figure of God the Father, contradicts the stable basis of Quattro cento and High Renaissance composition and looks forward to the Baroque.

Early in the 1540s Titian artist came under the influence of central and north Italian Mannerism, and in 1545-6 Tiziano Vecelli made his first and only journey to Rome. There he was deeply impressed not only by modern paintings such as Michelangelo's Last Judgement, but also by the remains of antiquity. Works of Titian during this visit aroused much interest, his Danaë (Museo di Capodimonte, Naples) being praised for its handling and color and (according to Vasari) criticized for its inexact drawing by Michelangelo. Titian the artist also painted in Rome the famous portrait of Pope Paul III and his Nephews (Museo di Capodimonte). Here is the best gallery and museum to purchase oil painting copies of Titian Venus of Urbino, Assumption of the Virgin as well as other Venetian painters.

The decade closed with further imperial commissions. In 1548 the emperor summoned Titian painter to Augsburg, where he painted both a formal equestrian portrait (Charles V at the Battle of Mühlberg, Prado) and a more intimate one showing him seated in an armchair (Alte Pinakothek, Munich). Tiziano Vecelli travelled to Augsburg again in 1550 and this time painted portraits of Charles's son, the future Philip II of Spain, and the greatest patron of his later career. Titian artwork for Philip included a series of seven erotic mythological subjects (c. 1550-62): Danaë and Venus Titian and Adonis (Prado), Perseus and Andromeda (Wallace Collection, London), The Rape of Europa (Gardner Museum, Boston), Titian Diana and Actaeon and Diana and Calisto (Ellesmere Collection, on load to the National Gallery of Scotland), and The Death of Actaeon (National Gallery, London). Titian the painter referred to these pictures as poesie, and they are indeed highly poetic visions of distant worlds, quite different from the sensual realities of his earlier mythological Titian paintings.

His greatness as an artist, it appears, was not matched by his character, for painter Titian was notoriously avaricious. In spite of his wealth and status, he claimed he was impoverished, and his exaggerations about his age (by which Tiziano Vecellio hoped to pull at the heartstrings of patrons) are one of the sources of confusion about his birthdate. Jacopo Bassano caricatured him as a moneylender in his Purification of the Temple (National Gallery, London). Titian was lavish in his hospitality towards his friends, who included the poet Pietro Aretino and the sculptor and architect Jacopo Sansovino. These three were so close that they were known Titian paintings in Venice as the triumvirate, and they used their influence with their respective patrons to further each other's careers.

Analysis of Titian Paintings

The memorable grace as well as the bright and rich colors in Titian Venus Urbino reveals an increasing sorrow. In his later years, Titian adopted a method of dissolution, and the habitual golden lines to cover the oil paintings attached an extraordinary luxurious sense to the picture. The development of painting Titian also represents that of western oil painting. Titian Madonna in medium phase affected the Baroque while the later paintings exerted a profound influence on the coming Romanticism and Impressionism.
Titian paintings promoted the development of the Venetian school in 16th century, his art, directly or indirectly affected the generations of Venetian painters.
So, oil painting lovers are very interested in his biography, and reproductions of his paintings for sale in Titian gallery are prevalent.
