SOME OF HIS WORK:

he was asked by the Duke of Ferrara Alfonso d’Este to paint mythological paintings for him in 1518 he called them Worship of Venus, Bacchus and Ariadne and The Bacchanal of the Andrian Most art was religious, so this move was new and not popularized.  The vibrancy of the art is due to the oil paint Ordinarily paint mixed with wax or tempura which is paint mixed with egg whites. His next work was // Martyrdom of St Peter Martyr // its has been lost. his portrait of an unknown called // Man with a Glove from //1522 but probably a wealthy man Madonna with Saints and members of the Pesaro Family, or the // Pesaro Madonna //, 1526. This piece was monumental as well. This piece shows the family having a sakura conversasiona, or a conversation with Madonna, which is a common scene in privet art

In 1538 he painted // Venus of Urbino //. She is lying on the chaise with a small dog on the floor next to her Since the dog is a symbol of fidelity and it’s asleep it suggests that the woman is unfaithful.

Titian is buried atthe Church of Maria Gloriosa dei Frari The mansion that they livd in was raided by thieves His brother Francesco became an artist too but was never as popular as Titain
