Tuesday, September 08, 2020. From 3:00 pm To 4:30 pm EDT. Zoom webinar. REGISTRATION REQUIRED. In this seminar, part of the #Raffaello500 series, prof. Giorgio Tagliaferro will discuss how Titian and Raphael, who arguably never met, although in different cultural contexts and under different circumstances, developed somewhat and at the same time, similar innovative techniques and pictorial representations in order to engage the viewers in new, more compelling ways.

It will also highlight how Titian, still many years after Raphael’s death, looked at the late fellow artist not only as a source of inspiration due to his extraordinary inventiveness and the supreme quality of his art, but also as an ideal of excellence to surpass, which spurred Titian to promote himself as the greatest of all artists, giving Venice its own ‘Raphael'.
