Titian was an Italian painter that made some of the best portraits in the Renaissance period. Titian was born in Pieve di Cadore, Republic of Venice (which is modern-day Italy)in the year of 1477. Titian was the most important member of the 16th-Century Venetian school. Titian trained under two other original Venetian artists, Giovanni Bellini and Giorgoni. Titian earned fame through portraits that he has mads, including portraits of Emperor Charles V, who refused to be painted by other artists. "Titian’s portraits are unique for the way that they express subjective dimension."(from Wikipedia.org) Titian’s early portraits followed Giorgoni with sad and dramatic mood which they portray. Titian has made over 95 different portraits including The assumption of the Virgin and The Allegory of Prudence. Titian often included a lot of colors in his frescos, thus having a lifelong passion for colorful art. Titian is known for building up painting of color instead of design. Titian’s portraits gives people in the 21st century a feel of what some of the best art in history depicts. Titian died at the age of 99 in 1576. Titian’s portraits changed the world by changing the cliché picture of Renaissance art from design to color.
