This
paper, in relating the personal story of
Titian, also includes descriptions of the work and lives of other great Italian
Renaissance, such as Ghirlandaio, Giorgione, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Bellini brothers. The
paper points out that
Titian didn't know where he got his passion for drawing because his father never enjoyed art and thought that art was only a waste of somebody else's time. The paper explains that Titian liked to take his subjects from popular Venice, from the streets, from common people, and Venice had plenty of these to provide.
