Venice celebrated Titian from 25 April to 2 November 1935 in a crucial exhibition at Cà Pesaro that is remembered as one of the landmark exhibitions of all time.
Just under a century later, and in the wake of dozens and dozens of exhibitions that have probed virtually every aspect of the various stages in the painter's long career, the Scuderie del Quirinale is planning an anthological exhibition that sets out to highlight the full range of the output of a painter universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest masters of the 16th century in Europe. Starting with the first masterpieces which he produced in the workshops of Giovanni Bellini and of Giorgione, the visitor will be able to track Titian's complete human and artistic career right up to his last, moving works, in a fully-fledged 'visual journey' designed to reveal the extraordinary technical mastery that aroused the admiration of Giorgio Vasari when he noted that Titian's first paintings were "finished with great diligence, and might be looked at near or far, but the last are worked with great patches (...) and at a distance they look perfect".
