Tizian
Tizian is a 1912 art monograph published in Bielefeld by Velhagen & Klasing, written by art historian Hermann Knackfuss as a biography of the Venetian painter Titian for a general and art-interested readership. Its plates are halftone reproductions of Titian's paintings, showing a portrait of a bearded man against foliage, a reclining figure with a winged putto, a religious altarpiece with a saint and angels in clouds, and a crowded courtly procession. A designer might take from them the warm, dark tonal range and the dense Renaissance compositions of Venetian painting.
