TITIAN



By Estelle M. Hurll



A short introduction to the art and long life of one of the greatest artists in history, Titian Vecelli. The art of Titian spans the whole of the Italian Renaissance, moving through many visual styles, ending up with a striking use of broken colour that looks forward to Impressionism. Titian created the full range of Renaissance artforms, including portraits, self-portraits, mythological and historical subjects, religious pictures, altarpieces, and many important commissions.

The book (first published in 1902) is illustrated by works from each stage of Titian's lengthy and remarkable artistic career. Hurll provides entries on each of the major works by Titian. There are chapters of reference material, too - a chronology, historical context, Titian's contemporaries, and references.

Fully illustrated. Includes notes on the works, and footnotes. 160 pages. www.crmoon.com
