Vecellio Tiziano (Titian)

Born: c.1490, Italy, Pieve di Cadore   Died: 1576, Venice

Painter. Trained in the workshop of the mosaicist Sebastiano Zuccato and later that of Gentile Bellini (active c. 1460, d. 1507). Upon Gentile's death, Titian joined Gentile's brother, Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430-1516). Described by the National Gallery as the greatest painter of 16th-century Venice, his great interest in colour and his compositional confidence hugely influenced the Italian Renaissance. While 400 works have been attributed to him - mostly portraits and religious paintings - it is estimated that only 300 of them survive today
