About the book: 2010 / Titian Vecellio is the greatest artist of all time, who, along with Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo, is one of the four titans of the Italian Renaissance. During his lifetime, Titian was called “the king of painters and the painter of kings,” and his discoveries in the field of fine art had a huge influence on the work of artists in the future. Titian’s role in the development of the mythological genre, landscape, was great; he was the greatest portrait painter, and to be captured with his brush was the highest award. The painter's works were copied countless times. The images created by him are distinguished by fragility, solemnity, a combination of spirituality and everyday reality, tragedy. Despite the fact that the master lived for almost a hundred years, until his last day maintaining clarity of perception, thinking, mind, vigilance and amazing ability to work, thanks to which he I let go of the brush until the end of my days. Titian left an extensive artistic heritage. His work falls on the period of the highest prosperity of Venice, its power and glory, a time of global historical events.
