Titian

TITIAN

By Trinity

Titian was the greatest painter of the 16th century. The first to have mainly international clientele. During his long career he experimented with many different styles of painting.

Titian was Born in Pieve dleadore, a small Town at the foot of the Dolomites on the Venetian side of the alp.

Paintings Titian painted: Flora, The Three Ages of Men, Pieta, Danae. His most famous one was the Rape of Europa.

In 1511 Titian painted his celebrated frrcoes in the Seudla del Santo in Padua. His style had now reached maturity marked by fullness of forms. I thank it is cool that he made his own style of painting.

Early in 1516 Titian started his professional relationship with Alfonso I d'esta Duke of Ferrara and spent time in Alfonso Castle. In 1516 Titian began work on his first major commission for a church called Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice.

The 1520s were hugely significant for Titian. In 1525 he married Cecilia who Tragically Died in 1530.

The last Phase of Titian life coincided with a radical revision of his own style and painting technique.
