From The Acclaimed Author Of Michelangelo, GodS Architect, A Dual Biography Of Two Towering Artists Of The Renaissance, Whose DecadesLong Rivalry Spurred Both To Greater Heightsin 1529, Michelangelo Was In Venice When He First Met Titian, VeniceS Famed Painter Of Princes, Gods, And Goddesses. Coming FaceToFace With TitianS DramaInfused, Richly Colored Works, The Creator Of David And The Sistine Chapel Ceiling Realized He Had Met A Worthy Opponent. TwentyFive Years Later, Titian Came To Rome To Paint The Pope, And The Two Met Again. Painting In The Vatican, Titian Experienced The Full Power Of MichelangeloS Work And Vowed To Surpass The Achievements Of His Older Contemporary.Michelangelo And Titian Is The Untold Story Of HistoryS Greatest Artistic Rivalry, A Competition Between Two Monumental Figures More Admiring Of One Another Than Either Would Ever Admit. William Wallace Brings The World Of The Sixteenth Century To Life, And In Particular Its Culture Of Gossip And Intrigue. Wallace Challenges The Established Narrative Of This Relationship As Mostly OneSided, With The Younger Artist In Competition With The Reigning Master. He Shows How The Artists Moved In Overlapping Courtly And Papal Circles, Sharing The Patronage, Power, And Sometimes Friendship Of The Most Important People Of Their Era, Including Members Of The Medici, Este, And Farnese Families. Wallace Traces How, Over The Span Of Some Forty Years, This Unspoken Rivalry Was Reciprocal And Mutually Beneficial, With Each Learning From The OtherS Brilliance, Quietly Seeking To Best The OtherS Work And Secure His Own Legacy.An Extraordinary Achievement, Michelangelo And Titian Is A Compelling Account Of Two Supremely Gifted Rivals Who Inspired Each Other To Test The Limits Of Their Creative Genius, And In Doing So Created Some Of The Most Astonishing Works Of Art The World Has Ever Known.
