description

Titian was born in the Alpine town of Pieve di Cadore; the date of his birth is uncertain. He succeeded Giovanni Bellini, under whom he had studied, as painter to the Republic of Venice, and he included among his many illustrious patrons the emperor Charles V, Charles’ son Philip II of Spain, and Pope Paul III. He died in Venice in the great plague of 1576. After Giorgione’s death in 1510, Titian was considered the greatest painter of his day in Venice.
