Great artists - Titian

submitted by mauz15

1 decade 5 years 11 months 1 week ago

Titian, was the leading painter of the 16th-century Venetian school of the Italian Renaissance.

Recognized by his contemporaries as "the sun amidst small stars" (recalling the famous final line of Dante's Paradiso), Titian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits and landscapes (two genres that first brought him fame), mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods, particularly in the application and use of color, would exercise a profound influence not only on painters of the Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western art.

During the course of his long life Titian's artistic manner changed drastically but he retained a lifelong interest in color. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, their loose brushwork and subtlety of polychromatic modulations are without precedent in the history of Western art.

Hard to believe they were painting like that 500 years ago.

I don't think anybody can paint like that now.

Moving this video to mauz15's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter mauz15.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'artist, italian, painting, high renaissance, titian' to 'artist, italian, painting, high renaissance, titian, tizian' - edited by rasch187

Note: I've replaced the video for one with better quality but (sometimes) slower loading speeds.
I recommend you let it buffer for a few minutes before playing it.

Here is an alternative link that loads much faster but the quality is compromised:
