Titjan

Titian is one of the most celebrated names in art history. This film travels to Venice, Rome, Madrid and Vienna to consider his life, work and legacy. It explores his manoeuvres to become Venice's offical artist, his greed and ambition, fuelled by polemicist Aretino, his expedient flattery of his illustrious Clients, as well as his sublime use of colour and his supreme skill as an artist, which find full expression in the passionate paintings of his old age.
