About the book >.>.> The greatest of all Venetian paliers Tian achieved a worlly soucize and an artistic influence unsurpaned in his own litcrone and later equalled only by Rubens. His matchless rechauque and brillant use of colour wan hin the patronage of the most power ful men in Christendom and led to the acceptance of a revolu- tiatury change in the role of the punter whose consequences are still felt today. In freeing the art of painting from ity traditional subservience to drawing he emphasised the importance of colour and brushwork as naeans of self-expression establishing a tradition that can be traced through the work of countless artists from Vel?zquez to the Impressionists and beyond. In this major and scholarly study Charles Hope presents an authoritative new account of Titian’s remarkable rise to fame and sustained pre-eminence basing his arguments extensively.on unpublished information and convincingly challenging many accepted ideas about the painter’s career and development. Dr Hope sheds fresh light on the meaning of Titan’s paintings on the role of his studio his influence on contemporaries and on the changes in his own ideals and techniquen Thirty-two plates im colour and over eighty in black and white illusteate every aspect of Timan’s art delionstrating his veatus as the last great painter of the High Renaissance.
