Titian's 'Venus of Urbino' Tapa blanda - 1997

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997. xiii, 168 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Edges lightly soiled. "Arguably the quintessential work of the High Renaissance in Venice, Titian's Venus of Urbino also represents one of the major themes of western art: the female nude. But how did Titian intend this work to be received? Is she Venus, as the popular title - a modern invention - implies; or is she merely a courtesan? This book tackles this and other questions in six essays by European and American art historians. Examining the work within the context of Renaissance art theory, as well as the psychology and society of sixteenth-century Italy, and even in relation to Manet's nineteenth-century 'translation' of the work, their observations begin and end with the painting itself, and with appreciation of Titian's great achievement in creating this archetypal image of feminine beauty." - Publisher..
