Titian

Titian, Tiziano Vecellio, was the greatest painter of Renaissance Venice, admired across Europe for his colour and loose, expressive brushwork. His Assumption of the Virgin in the Frari church made his name, and he went on to paint emperors, popes and kings, including the Emperor Charles V and Philip II of Spain, for whom he painted the mythological poesie. He died in Venice during an outbreak of plague. The National Gallery in London has Bacchus and Ariadne and The Death of Actaeon, and it shares Diana and Actaeon and Diana and Callisto with the National Galleries of Scotland.
