Titian

Titian was the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was a master of color and light, and his work had a profound influence on the development of oil painting. Unlike the more linear approach of his Florentine contemporaries, Titian focused on the expressive power of color and the texture of paint. His work spans a wide range of subjects, from religious scenes to mythological narratives and portraits.

Titians ability to capture the richness and complexity of the human form through color remains a benchmark for painters to this day.
