{"product_id":"titian-tom-nichols-9781780236742","title":"Titian: And the End of the Venetian Renaissance","description":"Titian is best known for paintings that embodied the tradition of the Venetian Renaissance--but how Venetian was the artist himself? In this study, Tom Nichols probes the tensions between the individualism of Titian's work and the conservative mores of the city, showing how his art undermined the traditional self-suppressing approach to painting in Venice and reflected his engagement with the individualistic cultures emerging in the courts of early modern Europe. \u003cbr\u003e Ranging widely across Titian's long career and varied works, \u003ci\u003eTitian and the End of the Venetian Renaissance\u003c\/i\u003e outlines his radical innovations to the traditional Venetian altarpiece; his transformation of portraits into artistic creations; and his meteoric breakout from the confines of artistic culture in Venice. Nichols explores how Titian challenged the city's communal values with his competitive professional identity, contending that his intensely personalized way of painting resulted in a departure that effectively brought an end to the Renaissance tradition of painting. Packed with 170 illustrations, this groundbreaking book will change the way people look at Titian and Venetian art history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780236743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780236742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Tom Nichols","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078624637183,"sku":"9781780236742","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edb9bbba-ee5d-443c-8c4d-69b1277a5a16.jpg?v=1685476569","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/titian-tom-nichols-9781780236742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
