Titian was highly regarded during his lifetime, and his renown has not diminished in the intervening centuries; so great was his ability to manipulate color, texture, and tone that he is still considered to be one of art history€s greatest technical masters. The freedom exhibited in his pictorial compositions was unprecedented and greatly influential on later artists, notably Manet, who closely studied Titian€s work at the Louvre. This book examines Titian€s evolution, from his early years training under Giovanni Bellini to his later mature work, giving a wide perspective on the life€s work of this legendary master painter.</div> <div class="margin-bottom">  </div> <div class="margin-bottom" id="series_text" style="display: block;"> <strong>About the Series:</strong><br /> Each book in TASCHEN€s Basic Art series features:<ul> <li>a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance</li> <li>a concise biography</li> <li>approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions</li> </ul> </div> </div>
