Le Botteghe Di Tiziano (the Workshops of Tizian) (Hardcover)

Traditionally the history of art teaches that the great painters of the past produced their masterpieces in a kind of splendid isolation. In more recent times however, specialists determined that was not the case. They discovered that accomplished artists ran extensive workshops. This implies that many of the works produced were to a great extend the result of a collective effort and not a single solitary genius. It may therefore seem odd that the vast body of work of Titian has never been examined in a systematic way from this point of view. This book brings together some of the most important scholars and specialists of Titian's art to analyze and present the results of extensive research and empiric and scientific studies on Titian, to offer an important new view of his work.
