Titian: Prince of Painters (Art & Design) Details
From Library Journal This excellent catalog of the 1990-1991 exhibition in Venice and Washington is a work of permanent value. Featuring essays by 16 authorities, primarily Italian and American, on every aspect of the art of Titian (Tiziano Vecelli, c. 1490-1576), the quintessential Venetian artist of the high Renaissance, the work transcends the limits of spatial and temporal exhibition to summarize and extend current scholarship. At the same time, the text is accessible, well translated, and aimed at a broad audience. Many of the works in the exhibit were conserved or cleaned, so the book features fresh illustrations and a hefty amount of technical discussion of specialist interest. A distinguished addition to the vast bibliography, recommended for all art collections.- Jack Perry Brown, Ryer son & Burnham Libs., Art Inst. of ChicagoCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Reviews
The greatest painter of his time, the recorder of his era, and painter to the leading personages of the age. His time cannot be understood without his art.
