Titian and the Glorification of Women

Sylvia Ferino, 2021

Overview

This book explores how the culture of 16th-century Venice, with its evolving social landscape for women, influenced Titian's depictions of feminine beauty. As women gained new rights and social influence, poets and humanists began to construct an ideal of the desired woman with civic significance.
