黑料不打烊

Following the exhibition 鈥淏ellini, Giorgione, Titian and the Renaissance of Venetian Painting鈥� - organised by the Kunsthistorisches Museum last year in collaboration with the National Gallery in Washington - we now present an exhibition dedicated to Titan鈥檚 late works. 鈥渓ate Titian and the Sensuality of Painting鈥� will open on October 17, 2007, and will move to Venice (Gallerie dell鈥橝ccademia) in February 2008.The exhibition, the result of extensive research, scholarship and planning, brings together about sixty paintings, among them more than thirty loans. It focuses on a wide range of topics ranging from the fertile cultural conditions found in Venice during the third quarter of the 16th century to Titian鈥檚 patrons and colleagues (especially Sciavone, Tintoretto and Jacopo Bassano) to the figure of the artist himself. The main focus is on the last twenty-five years of Titian鈥檚 creative life, which will be viewed against the background of the master鈥檚 family circumstances, questions of inheritance, and the role of his studio assistants. In addition, the exhibition includes around fifteen sixteenth-century graphic works from the Albertina that document the overwhelming popularity of Titian鈥檚 compositions, and illustrate how his inventions were translated into a simpler pictorial language that appealed to a wider public.
