Titian's Allegory Of Marriage New Approaches

This book offers nine new approaches toward a single work of art Titian’s Allegory of Marriage or Allegory of Alfonso d’Avalos dated to 1530/5. In earlier references the painting was named simply Allegory alluding to its enigmatic nature. The work follows in a tradition of such ambiguous Venetian paintings as Giovanni Bellini’s Sacred Allegory and Giorgione’s Tempest. Throughout the years Titian’s Allegory has engendered a range of diverse interpretations. Art historians such as Hans Tietze Erwin Panofsky Walter Friedlaender and Louis Hourticq to mention only a few promoted various explanations. This book offers novel approaches and suggests new meanings toward a further understanding of this somewhat abstruse painting.. |Titian's Allegory of Marriage New Approaches
