Titian

Bacchanal of the Andrians

US$ 651.00

On the island of Andros a stream runs with wine, and the islanders are making the most of it — music, dancing, and a sleeping figure at the lower right whose pose has been quoted by painters ever since. The blues and golds are as intense as anything in Venetian art. Pure celebration, painted around 1523.

Artist

Titian (c. 1488-1576) dominated Venetian painting for sixty years and effectively invented the modern idea of the artist as an independent figure of standing, negotiating with emperors and popes as an equal. He painted this in his thirties for the duke of Ferrara, at the height of his early brilliance with colour. Rubens and Poussin both copied it; Velazquez studied it in Madrid.
