The Later Works of Titian

The Later Works of Titian, written by Sir Phillips Claude and first published in 1499, is a scholarly critique of the Venetian painter Titian's later years. This late 19th-century work examines Titian's artistic evolution, focusing on his significant friendships, particularly with writer Pietro Aretino, and the commissions he received from prominent figures. It highlights notable pieces such as the 'Madonna with St. Catherine' and explores Titian's techniques and the cultural context of his time, providing insights into his balance of artistic brilliance and personal indulgence.
