词源 | Titian. Tiziano Vecellio, or Vecelli, whose name is anglicized as Titian, began his training as an artist in 1486 when nine years old and did not stop painting until his death of the plague 90 years later, when he was approaching one hundred. The greatest artist of the Venetian school, Titian produced hun- dreds of paintings during his unusually long and prolific career, including portraits and religious and mythological works, all noted for their magnificent use of color and design rather than for his drawing. In his many paintings the artist often depicted a model with shades of bright golden-auburn hair, and ren- dered the color so beautifully that the lustrous bronze has since been called Titian hair, or simply Titian. One tradition claims that Titian’s auburn-haired model was his daughter Lavinia, whom he did paint several times. |
