Abstract

Vénus, Flore, Hébé ou Diane - autant de divinités antiques qui ont prêté, à partir de la fin du XVIIe siècle en France, leurs attributs et leurs costumes vaporeux, souvent affriolants, à quantité de femmes de l'aristocratie de cour, de la bourgeoisie montante et de la noblesse de robe. L'élite sociale se fait alors peindre en costume mythologique ou historique par des artistes célèbres tels que Nicolas de Largillierre, Hyacinthe Rigaud, François de Troy, Jean-Marc Nattier ou Jean Raoux. Ces portraits dits "historiés" , dans lesquels l'effigie d'une personne vivante s'enrichit d'attributs mythologiques comme dans un tableau d'histoire, sont un genre pictural à part entière. D'abord prérogative masculine adoptée par les grands pour célébrer leurs vertus, il devient vers 1680 l'apanage des modèles féminins : le langage allégorique les pare de qualités à connotation spécifiquement féminine et galante, comme la beauté, la jeunesse, la grâce, qui, bien comprises, pouvaient aussi être un moyen de manier le pouvoir.

Abstract

"Titian (c. 1488-1576) produced a masterful group of paintings for Philip II of Spain, celebrating the loves of gods, goddesses, and mortals. Depicting scenes from the Ovid's narrative poem Metamorphoses, Titian named them "poesie" and considered the works as visual equivalents of poetry. This volume presents a detailed study of the complete series-Danae, Venus and Adonis, Perseus and Andromeda, Diana and Actaeon, Diana and Callisto, and The Rape of Europa, as well as The Death of Actaeon-lavishly illustrated with details of these emotionally charged paintings. The book explores Titian's creative process, studio practice, and technique, in addition to his use of literary and visual sources and his correspondence with Philip II. The artistic legacy of the series for later European painting is also examined in the works in artists such as Rubens, Velázquez, and Rembrandt. Offering the most comprehensive overview of these remarkable works, Titian: Love, Desire, Death is an indispensable resource for scholars and admirers of Renaissance painting"--
