Titian
Titian, or Tiziano Vecellio, was the greatest painter of the Venetian shool during the High Renaissance period. Titian was born around 1485 and was trained in the studio of Giovanni Bellini. He later befriended Giorgione and in 1506 assisted him with a fresco in Venice until Giorgione's death, which prompted Titian to finish all his unfinished paintings and frescoes. Titian primary great commission was for 3 frescos in Padua, and with the death of Bellini in 1516, Titian became the official painter of the Italian Republic. Titian produced great religious works, mythological paintings, and skillful portraits. Titian loved strong and simple colors, strength of contrasts between figures and backgrounds, and magnificent architectural motifs. Titian's greatest mythological works include the Worship of Venus, The Bacchus adn Ariadne, and the Bacchanal. Titian's style changed dramatically with the death of his wife in 1530. His art became more subtle and meditative in comparison to the passion of previous works. Titian's fame began to spread throughout Europe and in 1533 he was appointed court painter to emperor Charles V, and even gained the title of Count Palatine and Knight of the Golden Spur - something that no other painter had ever been honored with. During the last 20 years of Titian's life his paintings become more and more meditative as he gently merges colors to create an immaterial effect. In 1550 he painted the Martydom of St Lawrence which contains Mannerist elements in the movement and types of figures. Titian's influence on later artists both within the Renaissance and later has been profound, and he is undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of his time.
