Titian • Main expressive devise=strong colors • Technique: covered the surface with red for warmth, then painted both background and figures in vivid hues and toned them down with 30-40 glazes. • This allowed him to portray a wide range of textures • One of the first to abandon wood panels, he established canvas as the typical medium
Changes in his Painting • After his wife died in 1530, his paintings became more muted, almost monochromatic • Near the end of his life (d. 1576) his sight began to fail and he loosened his brushstrokes.
