Our destination for Art Around the World—Live with Luca: Titian & The Great Venetian Masters @ Venice

“…certainly the best picture in Italy.” — Oscar Wilde

Wilde’s quote captures the devotion that Titian fans have for one of the most influential painters of the Renaissance, even more, according to some, than his Roman contemporaries Michelangelo and Raphael.

Let’s see what Luca has to say about that!

Luca takes us virtually to Venice to explore the city — thanks to Google Earth — and to explore Titian’s most famous painting, the Assumption of the Virgin, commissioned for the Basilica Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari to outshine the previous altarpiece, painted by Giovanni Bellini.

The Assumption is a painting that established Titian as the figurehead of 16th century Venetian art. He was a respected and innovative artist willing to push the boundaries with his work, constantly trying out different technical approaches and artistic styles.

Titian developed an international following during his later years and this is part of the reason for how his reputation was to become so strong all across of Europe.
