Conference organized by art historian Thomas Dalla Costa<\/b> dedicated to Titian and the Landscape between Veneto and Europe<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Titian played a fundamental role in the development of a new conception of landscape in Venetian and European art, influencing artists up to the eighteenth century.<\/p>\n
Although he did not create true autonomous landscapes, nature always occupies an important position in his works.<\/p>\n
From the beginning of his career, especially through drawings, engravings, and woodcuts, he showed a strong interest in landscape, often represented with secondary human figures.<\/p>\n
These works, produced also with the help of collaborators, had a great influence on subsequent artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Fragonard, and Watteau, contributing decisively to the birth and affirmation of the landscape genre.<\/p>\n
The fundamental role of Titian in the development of a new landscape vision in Venetian and European art, destined to leave its mark until the late eighteenth century, is widely recognized but not yet thoroughly studied or adequately valued.<\/p>\n
Although there are no paintings in the Titian catalog that can be framed as autonomous landscapes, where nature plays a predominant role compared to the presence of human figures or the historia addressed in them, the naturalistic setting that serves as a backdrop for his works always carries considerable weight.<\/p>\n
It is already in the early phase of the Cadorino’s career, particularly in graphic works such as drawings, engravings, and woodcuts, that a significant interest in landscape is evident.<\/p>\n
These are compositions that fall outright into the genre of landscape with secondary figures and were produced not only by the master himself but also by a series of collaborators.<\/p>\n
However, one of the most interesting aspects of this type of work is related to the impact it had on subsequent generations of artists, even beyond the Italian borders, from Rembrandt and Rubens to Fragonard and Watteau, providing a fundamental contribution to the birth of the landscape genre.<\/p>\n
