Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio (c. 1488/1490 – 27 August 1576 better known as Titian ( / ˈ t ɪ . ʃ ən /) was an Italian painter, the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno (in Veneto), in the Republic of Venice. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, taken from the place of his birth.

Recognized by his contemporaries as "The Sun Amidst Small Stars" (recalling the famous final line of Dante's Paradiso), Titian 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 color, would exercise a profound influence not only on painters of the Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western art.

During the course of his long life Titian's artistic manner changed drastically but he retained a lifelong interest in color. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, their loose brushwork and subtlety of polychromatic modulations are without precedent in the history of Western art.

Information about a particular Titian painting?
Q. I saw on the cover of a French dictionary "Hachette" a painting of Titian. It's called "auto portrait" in the dictionary.. It pictures a young man (the painter supposedly) looking with a lot of affection to a woman and there's another woman behind him. I can't find it the history of art books i have and can't find it on the internet. I love it a lot, i would be very grateful to know a little bit more about it. thank you Yes yes!!absolutely "back to the drawing board", Would you happen to have some more information about it? thanks, so far you've helped a lot.
