Italian, 1488–1576
Tiziano Vecellio, commonly known as Titian, was an Italian painter of the Renaissance. He is regarded as one of the most important figures in Western art and a leading artist of the Venetian school. Titian was born around 1488 in Pieve di Cadore, a town in the Veneto region of Italy. He trained under Giovanni Bellini and later with Giorgione, which significantly influenced his early style. Throughout his career, he became known for his mastery of color and innovative compositions. Titian's works include notable pieces such as 'Assumption of the Virgin,' 'Venus of Urbino,' and 'Bacchus and Ariadne.' His style evolved over time, moving from the use of precise lines and forms to a more expressive and dynamic approach, which laid the groundwork for Baroque art. Titian's influence extended beyond his lifetime, impacting generations of artists and solidifying his legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of art.
