As Peter Humfrey explains, Tiziano Vecellio (c.1488–1576)—known in English as Titian—was one of the greatest painters of an age extraordinarily rich in artistic talent. Widely recognised from early in his career, he was regarded by contemporaries as having a command of colour and surface that was almost divine.
