Titian

During his long life Titian's painting were as famous and as admired as they are today. In this book are reproduced forty-one of these masterpieces, twenty-four in full colour, seventeen in two-colour plates; they show Titian's artistic development from his early years through the full flowering of his style. His renowned portraits of illustrious sitters are shown along with his intriguing allegories, his unique interpretations of classical myths, and his moving altar-pieces. Titian gave immortality to all these subjects by the mastery of his vision and the magnificence of his workmanship.
