The greatest Venetian painter, Titian Vecellio, who did not receive, according to Vasari, “nothing from the sky… except happiness and prosperity,” lived almost ninety years of life. Not always his way was unblemished, but in one Vasari was right: until the last moment of his life Titian was happy with his talent, never changing it, never knowing the old age infirmity. When the creative maturity of Titian came, his art no longer had peers.
Learn from Titian was considered the greatest happiness, portrayed – the object of desire. Brushes Titian owns a huge number of portraits. The portrait of the artist’s daughter belongs to the late period of his work. Titian portrayed Lavinia about a year before her death – she died in 1561 at the birth of her sixth child. She is about 30 years old on the portrait.
Close monitoring gives an opportunity to notice the untypical prior art of Titian anxious emotion and tenderness in the transfer of the mental world of the model. The natural, free pose of Lavinia is combined with detachment from the viewer, the completeness and grandeur of the forms – with the refinement of elaborating details; the transfer of mature female beauty – with an almost complete lack of healthy vitality in it.
