During his extraordinary career, Titian created some of the most revolutionary paintings of his time, becoming the most celebrated Italian painter in Europe. Over the past fifty years, Save Venice has supported the restoration of some of Titian’s most famous works, including the San Marco Altarpiece (Basilica della Salute), the Assumption and the Pesaro Altarpiece (Basilica dei Frari), the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple (Gallerie dell’Accademia), and the Annunciation at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Malchiostro Chapel in Treviso. This book uses the surprising discoveries that emerged during restoration campaigns to offer a new approach to the study of Titian’s creative process and technique. Published here for the first time, the details with unpublished enlargements of these six paintings illustrate Titian’s energetic touch, the fluidity of the brushstrokes and his extraordinary technical achievements. These passages of skill are accompanied by comments from restorers and in-depth art-historical analyses by Titian experts, making this volume an indispensable resource for scholars and lovers of Renaissance painting.
