ART Lives: Titian (UK-import)
Titian's genius and significance in European art are undisputed. Trained at the Giovanni Bellini workshop and influenced by working together with Giorgione, he came to a masterly use of colour, light and shade. His oeuvre contains everything his times demanded: drama, carnal lust, religious fervour, mythology and portraits. Didier Baussy-Oulianoff takes the viewer to the places where the renaissance artist devised his artworks and painted for the most influential courts. Contemporaries of Titian's, such as Vasari and Aretino, are also featured.
