Titian
Titian, born Tiziano Vecellio around 1488 in Pieve di Cadore, Italy, is one of the most influential painters of the Italian Renaissance. He trained in Venice under Giovanni Bellini and later Giorgione, absorbing influences that helped shape his distinct style. Known for his masterful use of color and his ability to convey texture and atmosphere, Titian's work encompasses portraits, landscapes, and religious and mythological scenes. Notable works include "Assumption of the Virgin," "Venus of Urbino," and "Bacchus and Ariadne." His dynamic compositions and vibrant palette had a profound impact on Western art. Titian's legacy endures through his contributions to the Venetian school and his influence on subsequent generations of artists. He passed away on August 27, 1576, in Venice. Read more about Arts.
