Tizianello (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419190223)

Tizianello is a novel written by Alfred De Musset. The book is set in Venice during the 16th century and tells the story of Tizianello, a young artist who dreams of becoming as famous as his mentor, the great painter Titian. Tizianello is a talented artist, but he lacks the ambition and drive that Titian possesses. He spends his days painting and enjoying the company of his friends, including the beautiful and mysterious Bianca. As Tizianello's reputation as an artist grows, he becomes increasingly frustrated with his lack of recognition and success. He becomes jealous of Titian and begins to resent him for his success. Tizianello's obsession with fame and fortune leads him down a dangerous path, and he soon finds himself caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal. The novel explores themes of ambition, jealousy, and the corrupting influence of power. It also provides a vivid depiction of life in Renaissance Venice, with its opulent palaces, bustling markets, and vibrant art scene. Tizianello is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of art and politics in Renaissance Italy.Pippo looked at her with such admiration that he was incapable of speaking. Whatever the circumstances, it is impossible to see a perfectly beautiful woman without astonishment and without respect. Pippo had often met Beatrice when out walking, and at private parties. He had himself praised her beauty a hundred times and had heard others do the same. She was a daughter of Pietro Loredano, member of the Council of Ten, and great-granddaughter of the famous Loredano, who took such an active part in the trial of Giacomo Foscari. The pride of this family was but too well known in Venice, and Beatrice passed, in the eyes of all, as having inherited the spirit of her ancestors. When still quite young, she had been married to the procurator Marco Donato, and the death of the latter had left her free and in possession of great wealth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
