Biographical accounts by several of Titian’s contemporaries, including Giorgio Vasari and Pietro Aretino, trace the fascinating and prolific life of this master of the Italian Renaissance. As the most important member of the sixteenth-century Venetian school, Titian (ca. 1488-1576) reached a level of professional success rivaled only by Raphael, Michelangelo, and, later, Rubens.
