Tiziano Vecellio (c.1488/90-1576) - known in English simply as Titian - was a remarkably versatile painter, equally comfortable with a wide range of genres and subjects. Unlike many artists from history whose work has been appreciated only after their death, Titian enjoyed fame and success throughout his career, which spanned over seven decades. Based in Venice, Titian received commissions from many local patrons and the Venetian government, as well as many distinguished figures from further afield, such as the Pope, the German emperor and the King of Spain. Titian's contemporary biographer, Giorgio Vasari, praised his skill as a colourist; the artist's careful modelling and depth of colour, shown to especially good effect in mythological works such as 'Bacchus and Ariadne' (1520-3) and 'Tarquin and Lucretia' (1569-71), continue to impress viewers in the twenty-first century. In addition to his success in representing pagan mythological themes, his skill as a portrait painter also won him many prestigious commissions, while his renown as a painter of religious subjects resulted in the creation of high-profile altarpieces, as well as individual works for private patrons. This new monologue combines Peter Humfrey's scholarly yet accessible text with 200 beautiful reproductions of Titian's works, from oil paintings and frescos to preparatory drawings. Careful attention has been paid to the scale and quality of the images, allowing the works and their vivid colours to be shown in their true intensity. The book is a perfect introduction to the work of this original and influential Renaissance artist.

活动时买的，很超值的一个系列（还有安格尔和拉斐尔的）！

Beware! I worked hard to avoid the Ludion edition, as warned about it in previous reviews, and got the dreaded bad version, which has horrible reproductions. The Ludion edition should be clearly differentiated from the original edition by Amazon, which it has failed to do. I'm looking at AdAll.com now for the real and proper edition since I can't trust Amazon on this one.

This was a gift to a close friend, who was highly pleased with this book. Thank you

Be very careful when you order this book from Amazon. I am from the UK and ordered this in 2007 from Amazon.com in the US. Rather than the Abrams edition advertised, I was shipped the Ludion edition, which looks entirely different from the video shown by one of the other reviewers (who labels his as a Phaidon edition, which is confusing). His video shows text mainly separate from illustrations, whereas the Ludion edition I was shipped has fewer pages and a totally different layout where about 7cm of text lies below every illustration so that with the white borders, the reproductions of paintings are pretty small. The reproductions are also dark and not terribly well focused (as opposed to say books by the French publisher Flammarion or the Yale series of the catalogue raisonne of John Singer Sargent, where even small reproductions of paintings are sharp and clear.)

This Ludion edition seems to be a cheap reprint, and I feel that the quality would hardly merit a $40 price, much less what is asked for, even at a deep discount. This was a very disappointing book. Don't buy it unless you get the correct edition. I would return mine if it were not for the prohibitive airmail fees, and feel that Amazon has been very negligent in sending a cheap alternative to what is advertised. (I only found this out by reviewing their advert again recently 3 years after purchasing the book).
