About This Item
New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers, 2012. Hardcover. VG (DJ flap has a fold in it, otherwise clean.). Black paper boards with black spine, gilt letters on spine, black & color illus. dust jacket, illus. flyleaves, 832 pp., color plates. Examines the life of Italian painter Tiziano Vecellio, or Titian (d. 1576). This biography "is the first since 1877 to examine all contemporary accounts of Titian's ife and work as well as recent art historical scholarship, some of it previously unpublished. [Hale's] book charts the extraordinary transformation of Titian's style: from the radiant, minutely realized masterpieces of his youth, to the more freely painted work of his middle years, to the dark, tragic, sometimes terrifying visions of his old age. Drawing on the latest scientific examinations of his paintings, Hale seeks to explain the evolution of his methods and his art. In doing so, she also gives many different voices -- from Titian's lifetime to today -- free reign to explore, praise, and sometimes doubt his genius." (dj).
