Titian was a leading Italian Renaissance painter known for his rich color, dynamic compositions, and masterful use of oil paint. Working mainly in Venice, he produced portraits, religious works, and mythological scenes that combined realism with dramatic expression. His influence shaped Venetian art and later Baroque painters. Titian’s innovative color techniques and emotive style helped establish the Venetian school as a dominant force in Renaissance art. Key works include Assumption of the Virgin and Venus of Urbino.
