The Life of Titian
New Paperback
Postscript summary
The Life of Titian (1648) by the Venetian artist and writer Carlo Ridolfi documents Titian’s life and work, but also counters Vasari’s earlier, somewhat negative appraisal of Venice and its artists. An invaluable source of information on Titian, the text is translated here by Julia and Peter Bondanella, with an introduction by Bruce Cole and an essay by Jody Robin Shiffman comparing the writings of Vasari and Ridolfi.
Product information
Full publisher description
After Vasari's Lives of the Most Famous Artists,The Life of Titian by the seventeenth-century Venetian artist and writer Carlo Ridolfi is the most important contemporary documentary source for our understanding of the great Renaissance artist. This new critical edition, the first translation into English of Ridolfi's biography, illuminates his life, his artistic production, and his early critical reputation. The editors address art-historical questions of attribution, provenance, and documentation that Ridolfi's biography raises. Two introductory essays present the nature, scope, and importance of the biography for the study of Titian and Venetian Renaissance art and place Ridolfi in the tradition of Renaissance biography and artistic literature. The annotations provide a useful and current bibliography drawn from both art history and literature.
The Life of Titian will be of interest to a wide audience of scholars and students of the history of Renaissance art, literature, language, and culture.
