Subsequently, Titian quickly between 1488-1490 in Pieve di Cadore, a town in the Dolomite became the most well-known painter in Venice, earning commissions from the doges of Venice, and the noble 1490 Mountains just outside Venice.

Jewitt, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Landscape painting assumed a new prominence in Venetian painting between the late fifteenth to early sixteenth century: this study aims to understand why and how this happened. It begins by redefining the conception of landscape in Renaissance Italy and then examines several ambitious easel paintings produced by major Venetian painters, beginning with Giovanni Bellini’s (c.1431- 36-1516) St. Francis in the Desert (c.1475), that give landscape a far more significant role than previously seen in comparable commissions by their peers, or even in their own work. After an introductory chapter reconsidering all previous hypotheses regarding Venetian painters’ reputations as accomplished landscape painters, it is divided into four chronologically arranged case study chapters.

  • Barbarigo' by Titian in the National Gallery, London
    MA.JAN.MAZZOTTA.pg.proof.corrs_Layout 1 08/12/2011 15:31 Page 12 A ‘gentiluomo da Ca’ Barbarigo’ by Titian in the National Gallery, London by ANTONIO MAZZOTTA ‘AT THE TIME he first began to paint like Giorgione, when he was no more than eighteen, [Titian] made the portrait of a gen- tleman of the Barbarigo family, a friend of his, which was held to be extremely fine, for the representation of the flesh-colour was true and realistic and the hairs were so well distinguished one from the other that they might have been counted, as might the stitches in a doublet of silvered satin which also appeared in that work. In short the picture was thought to show great diligence and to be very successful. Titian signed it in the shadow, but if he had not done so, it would have been taken for Giorgione’s work. Meanwhile, after Giorgione himself had executed the principal façade of the Fondaco de’ Tedeschi, Titian, through Barbarigo’s intervention, was commissioned to paint certain scenes for the same building, above the Merceria’.1 Vasari’s evocative and detailed description, which would seem to be the result of seeing the painting in the flesh, led Jean Paul Richter in 1895 to believe that it could be identified with Titian’s Portrait of a man then in the collection of the Earl of Darnley at Cobham Hall and now in the National Gallery, London (Fig.15).2 Up to that date it was famous as ‘Titian’s Ariosto’, a confusion that, as we shall see, had been born in the seventeenth century.

Looking to the urban context in the main important ports and commercial centers we can find violent conflicts, traditional uses, as well as new urban strategies by the governors to keep together (for economic and social purposes) city-dwellers and foreigners. The invention of specific buildings and the effect on the architectural language is often quite visible and a mean of cultural exchanges.

  • ALLA CORRENTE Giorgione
    ALLA CORRENTE Giorgione Giorgione (born Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco circa 1477 – 1510) was a Venetian painter of the High Renaissance in Venice, whose career was cut short by his untimely death when he was a little over thirty. Giorgione is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only about six surviving paintings are acknowledged for certain to be his own work. The resulting uncertainty about the identity and meaning of his art has made Giorgione one of the most mysterious figures in European painting. Together with Titian, who was slightly younger, he is the founder of the distinctive Venetian school of Ital- ian Renaissance painting, which achieves much of its effect through color and mood, and is traditionally contrasted with the reliance on a more linear “disegno” of Florentine painting. Samples of the Venetian School, with some of Giorgione’s paintings, are on display at the De Young Museum in San Francisco until February 12, 2012. What little is known of Giorgione’s life comes from Giorgio Vasari’s Le Vite. He came from the small town of Castelfranco Veneto, about 25 miles inland from Venice. His name sometimes appears as “Zorzo.” (The vari- ant Giorgione or Zorzon could be translated “Big George”). How early in boyhood he went to Venice we do not know, but stylistic evidence supports the statement of Carlo Ridolfi that he served his apprenticeship there under Giovanni Bellini. It was in Venice, then, that he settled and made his fame. Contemporary documents record that his gifts were recognized early. In 1500, when he was only23, (that is, if Vasari is correct about his age when he died), he was chosen to paint portraits of the Doge Agostino Barbarigo and the condottiere Consalvo Ferrante.
