In his book on Titian, Ian G. Kennedy analyzes the life and work of the famous Venetian Renaissance painter. Titian (1490–1576) was a master of color and light, known for his innovative technique and emotional expressiveness. His works, such as Bacchanal, The Assumption of the Virgin, and Portrait of Charles V, reflect his ability to combine realism with a rich palette of colors. Kennedy emphasizes Titian’s role in shaping Venetian painting and his influence on future generations of artists. Through an analysis of the stylistic changes in his oeuvre, the author presents Titian not only as a court painter to powerful patrons, but also as an experimenter whose late works are marked by expressive strokes and dramatic contrasts.
