【History Talk】Titianus, the oil painting master with different opinions【Kenshin History 】

When it comes to European artworks, many people would think of oil paintings. If we mention the 2000 lire issued in Italy in 1985, art history enthusiasts might have a clue. Yes, it's about Titian, known as the father of oil painting. Born in 1490 in the small northern town of Cadore, near Venice, into a military family, he studied under Giovanni Bellini in his early years. He also met his senior brother, Giorgione, there. From his brother, whom he revered like an idol, he not only learned a poetic painting style but also picked up the habits of this playboy. Eventually, both of them, indulging in worldly pleasures, were expelled from the studio by their teacher.
