Titian's landscapes

Titian was called "the Homer of Landscapists," signifying his unique and landmark status in landscape development and his high level of achievement. More than any of his predecessors, Titian was devoted to landscape paintings and drawings. The main purpose of this thesis is to thoroughly investigate of Titian's landscapes.;Another concern relates to Titian's stylistic changes at different periods. Especially in his landscape drawings, he created new ways of composing and looking at the beautiful natural scene. Based on a chronological analysis, these changes can be clearly exhibited. Titian's spiritual refinement, along with his stylistic development, is also investigated.;Titian created the pastoral works, which may not be only inherently visual. To some degrees, these are associated with pastoral literature. To find the link between Titian's landscapes and Virgil's poetry is one important concern of this research.
