TITIAN Image List

提香於1490出生。綽號Titian的Tiziano Vecellio於年輕時搬至威尼斯。在那裡他 與Giovanni Bellini一同受訓， 十分認同Giorgione的風格。他的早期作品 "Noli me tangere" and "Slavonian woman" (1510)與一些肖像畫(前兩者存於倫敦國家畫廊)，are characterized by the use of the chiaroscuro technique and by strong and penetrating inward looking expressions of personal absorption.

同期，他繪畫了花神 (1515)。畫中的花神看起來較像一名年輕健美女孩而與傳統中的神靈。後來提香風格逐漸接近拉斐爾，這可從著名的天上的愛和地上的愛(Sacred and Profane love)(1515)看出來。該畫 的用意仍受爭議，但顯然受一首同時代的詩("The Battle of Sleep and Love" by Francesco Colonna)所影響。 畫中的兩女子顯然代表了兩個不同而互有聯繫的世界: 智慧賢慧的妻子和性感的仙女。

Titian分別於Ferrara、Mantua和Urbino擔任宮廷畫家，繪了數幅以神話為主題的傑作。("Bacchanal" at the Prado Museum in Madrid and "Urbino的維納斯" at the Uffizi)

同時他繼續繪畫宗教畫，其中的傑作包括 "Pesaro altar-piece" (1519-26), the "Averoldi Polyptych" (1520-22) 和"Presentation of Mary at the Temple" (1526). Titian越來越重視光線和色調， 這可特別從"Man with glove" (1523) ; "The Beauty"; "Francesco Maria delle Rovere and his wife Eleonora" (1536-37), and the "Ill man" both at the Uffizi看出來。

Titian於1549年搬至羅馬，以淡淡的色彩帶來戲班效果。他繪畫了"Ecce Homo" (1543), the "Portrait of Pietro Aretino" (1545), the "Portrait of Carlo V on horseback", "Carlo V at the battle of Muhlburg" and "Filippo II" (1548). His last works were "The martyrdom of St. Laurence" (1559), the "Deposition in the sepulchre" (1566) and the "Self-portrait" (1567), the "Crown of thorns" (1570)和偉大的"聖殤像" (1576).
