The most important artist of Renaissance Venetian painting, he was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno.\n\nTitian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits, landscape backgrounds, and mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods, particularly in the application and use of colour, exerted a profound influence not only on painters of the late Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western artists.\n\nHis career was successful from the start, and he became sought after by patrons, initially from Venice and its possessions, then joined by the north Italian princes, and finally the Habsburgs and the papacy. Along with Giorgione, he is considered a founder of the Venetian school of Italian Renaissance painting. In 1590, the painter and art theorist Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo described Titian as \"the sun amidst small stars not only among the Italians but all the painters of the world\".\n\nDuring his long life, Titian's artistic manner changed drastically, but he retained a lifelong interest in colour. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, they are remarkable and original in their loose brushwork and subtlety of tone.","c. 1488 - 1490","1576-08-25","titian\u002Ftitian",22,"MALE",[22,27,31],{"name":23,"id":24,"slug":25,"dates":26},"Renaissance","24126a7a-8a45-44f0-9585-e8378dd206e2","renaissance","",{"name":28,"id":29,"slug":30,"dates":26},"High Renaissance","675dcdea-1b39-405b-b0b0-f29a287e4a90","high-renaissance",{"name":32,"id":33,"slug":34,"dates":26},"Italian Renaissance","8f9f464c-8fd7-47d8-8125-94e431bcf539","italian-renaissance","assumption-of-the-virgin","1515–1518","The Assumption of the Virgin or Frari Assumption, popularly known as the Assunta, is a large altarpiece panel painting in oils by the Italian Renaissance artist Titian, painted in 1515–1518.

Work on the painting seems to have begun anywhere from 1532 or 1534, and was perhaps completed in 1534, but not sold until 1538. It is currently held in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence.\n\nThe figure’s pose derives from the Dresden Venus made around 1510–11, traditionally attributed to Giorgione but with the landscape completed by Titian. In this painting, Titian places Venus indoors, meets the viewer’s gaze, and makes her sensuality explicit. Iconographic interpretations of the painting among art historians fall into two groups; both agree that the painting has a powerful erotic charge, but beyond that, it is seen either as a portrait of a courtesan, perhaps Zaffetta, or as a painting celebrating the marriage of its first owner (who according to some may not have commissioned it).\n\nThis disagreement forms part of a wider debate on the meaning of the mainly Venetian tradition of the reclining female nude, which Titian had created, or helped to create. The woman's intimate gesture has been interpreted by some scholars to represent masturbation, an act linked to Renaissance marriage customs, where female arousal—including self-stimulation—was believed to aid conception and ensure successful consummation.\n\nFor Charles Hope, \"It has yet to be shown that the most famous example of this genre, Titian's Venus of Urbino, is anything other than a representation of a beautiful nude woman on a bed, devoid of classical or even allegorical content\". Even the indefatigable finder of allegories drawing on Renaissance Neoplatonism, Edgar Wind, had to admit that in this case \"an undisguised hedonism had at last dispelled the Platonic metaphors\".",119,"titian\u002Fvenus-of-urbino\u002Fvenus-of-urbino","Venere di Urbino (Italian)",44,165,"Venus_of_Urbino",[],[79],{"name":80,"id":81,"slug":82},"Figure painting","8b9c0def-0123-4567-89ab-cdef12345678","figure-painting",{"address":84,"latitude":85,"longitude":86,"name":87,"zipCode":88,"id":89,"city":90,"slug":98,"description":99,"background":100,"logo":101,"phone":102,"popularity":103,"schedules":104,"website":105,"wikipediaId":106},"Piazzale degli Uffizi",43.7687,11.2559,"Uffizi Gallery","50122","9ddbd1f9-4e02-4a8f-a1d2-95e12df7f5ed",{"latitude":85,"longitude":86,"name":91,"id":92,"country":93,"slug":97,"image":26},"Florence","6512bd43-d9c2-4e33-9a9f-f90b5a81f2e4",{"id":94,"name":95,"slug":96},"1b8d9394-d613-47b2-8fab-248c12a7246d","Italy","italy","florence","uffizi-gallery","The Uffizi Gallery (UK: \u002Fjuːˈfɪtsi, ʊˈfiːtsi\u002F yoo-FIT-see, uu-FEET-see; Italian: Galleria degli Uffizi, pronounced ) is a prominent art museum adjacent to the Piazza della Signoria in the Historic Centre of Florence in the region of Tuscany, Italy.

An advance payment was given to Raphael, who originally held the commission for the subject of a Triumph of Bacchus.\n\nAt the time of Raphael's death in 1520, only a preliminary drawing was completed.

In the case of Bacchus and Ariadne, the subject matter was derived from the Roman poets Catullus and Ovid, and perhaps other classical authors.\n\nThe painting, considered one of Titian's greatest works, is now in the National Gallery, London. The other major paintings in the cycle are The Feast of the Gods, mostly by Giovanni Bellini, now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C, and Titian's The Bacchanal of the Andrians and The Worship of Venus, both now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid.

Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of more than 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The current director of the National Gallery is Gabriele Finaldi.\n\nThe National Gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Its collection belongs to the government on behalf of the British public, and entry to the main collection is free of charge.\n\nUnlike comparable museums in continental Europe, the National Gallery was not formed by nationalising an existing royal or princely art collection. It came into being when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of John Julius Angerstein in 1824. After that initial purchase, the gallery was shaped mainly by its early directors, especially Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which now account for two-thirds of the collection. The collection is smaller than many European national galleries, but encyclopaedic in scope; most major developments in Western painting \"from Giotto to Cézanne\" are represented with important works. It used to be claimed that this was one of the few national galleries that had all its works on permanent exhibition, but this is no longer the case.\n\nThe present building, the third site to house the National Gallery, was designed by William Wilkins. Building began in 1832 and it opened to the public in 1838. Only the façade onto Trafalgar Square remains essentially unchanged from this time, as the building has been expanded piecemeal throughout its history. Wilkins's building was often criticised for the perceived weaknesses of its design and for its lack of space; the latter problem led to the establishment of the Tate Gallery for British art in 1897. The Sainsbury Wing, a 1991 extension to the west by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, is a significant example of Postmodernist architecture in Britain.","national-gallery\u002Fbackground\u002Fnational-gallery_background","national-gallery\u002Flogo\u002Fnational-gallery_logo","+44 20 7747 2885",3,"Daily: 10:00 AM - 06:00 PM\nFriday: open until 09:00 PM\n1 January - 24, 25 and 26 December: closed","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nationalgallery.org.uk","National_Gallery",[164,165,166,167],{"name":23,"id":24,"slug":25,"dates":26},{"name":28,"id":29,"slug":30,"dates":26},{"name":32,"id":33,"slug":34,"dates":26},{"name":168,"id":169,"slug":170,"dates":26},"Venetian painting","918d4da9-8a97-49c6-924e-08a314410abb","venetian-painting",[172],{"name":113,"id":114,"slug":115}]
