"The first definitive biography of the master painter in more than a century, "Titian: His Life" is being hailed as a "landmark achievement" for critically acclaimed author Sheila Hale (Publishers Weekly). Brilliant in its interpretation of the 16th-century master's paintings, this monumental biography of Titian draws on contemporary accounts and recent art historical research and scholarship, some of it previously unpublished, providing an unparalleled portrait of the artist, as well as a fascinating rendering of Venice as a center of culture, commerce, and power. Sheila Hale's "Titian" is destined to be this century's authoritative text on the life of greatest painter of the Italian High Renaissance."
