Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), ca. (1485-90 - 1576)

• Was an Italian painter.
• He was the son of Gregorio Vecellio and his wife Lucia, of whom little is known.
• Along with Giorgione, he is considered a founder of the Venetian School of Italian Renaissance painting.
• During the last twenty-six years of his life (1550–1576), Titian worked mainly for Philip II and as a portrait-painter.
• He became more self-critical, an insatiable perfectionist, keeping some pictures in his studio for ten years—returning to them and retouching them, constantly adding new expressions at once more refined, concise, and subtle. • The displayed painting is a crop from Titian, Noli me Tangere, about 1514.
