The Later Works of Titian

"The Later Works of Titian" by Sir Claude Phillips is a deep look into the final years of the famous Venetian painter, Titian. Phillips’s work, created in the late 1800s, tells the story of Titian’s life, his greatest paintings, and how he changed as an artist. A key part of the story is Titian's important friendship with Pietro Aretino, a well-known writer, and that friendship's effects on Titian's life and art. The book also examines paintings like "Madonna with St. Catherine" and portraits of important people like Charles V, while carefully looking at how Titian painted, how he captured the look of aristocrats, and how he managed to find a balance between his talent and enjoying life during huge cultural changes in Venice.
