38、 more than Michelangelo and Raphael. Something about him fascinates his fans. Peter Paul Rubens painted nearly two-dozen copies of Titians work; Anthony van Dyck bought 19 Titians for his own collection. Velazquez and Rembrandt worshipped him. Oscar Wilde called Titians Assumption of the Virgin “cer

39、tainly the best picture in Italy”.Titians paintings have been the subject of countless exhibitions and art historical studies, but Sheila Hales new biography（传记）is the first full-length life of the Venetian master since 1877. And it doesnt take long to see why. Although he lived an uncommonly long l

40、ife, into his mid-80s, it wasnt a very exciting one. He almost never left Venice, where he had no real competitors in art. His working practice remains unclear, since, as Hale writes, “16th-century writers on art thought it inappropriate to describe the physical act of painting. He was faithful to h

Intellectually and religiously progressive, it served as a mixing point fbr immigrants from east and west and

43、 was the capital of an expanding empire. A few decades later, Venices glory days were gone. Hale does an admirable job recapturing the sights and smells of the Republic, its traders and patricians（贵族）,and of showing how the city nurtured one of the greatest painters of Western art history. But the s
