Summary

This book presents a detailed study of the complete series and is lavishly illustrated with details of these emotionally charged paintings. The book explores Titian's creative process, technique, his use of literary and visual sources and his artistic legacy as well as his correspondence with Philip II. Offering the most comprehensive overview of these remarkable works, 'Titian: Love, Desire, Death' is an indispensable resource for scholars and admirers of Renaissance painting. Titian (active about 1506; died 1576) produced a masterful group of paintings for Philip II, depicting scenes from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' and celebrating the loves of gods, goddesses and mortals.
