Titian And Venetian Painting, 1450-1590

Bruce Cole discusses and explains all of Titian's major works from various points of view and shows how Venetian painting of 1450–1590 differed from painting in Florence and elsewhere in Italy and became a distinct and fully-developed style of its own.

Bruce Cole is Distinguished Professor of Fine Arts at Indiana University. A former Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, he is the author of Giotto and Florentine Painting, The Renaissance Artist at Work, Italian Art, 1250-1500 and other books.
