Titian's Pieta in the Gallerie dell'Accademia Epilogue Notes Bibliograph IndexReviewsIn this groundbreaking investigation of Titian's understudied small-scale religious paintings, Christopher Nygren convincingly demonstrates in his rich and erudite analysis that these were high stakes painterly performances that prompted-even scripted-certain devotional responses from their sophisticated beholders. Provocatively referring to these polyvalent paintings as 'icons,' Nygren aligns Titian's art with early modern understandings about miraculous agency, votive petition, vibrant matter, and spiritual comportment. -Megan Holmes, author of The Miraculous Image in Renaissance Florence This searching and lucid study tactfully sets Titian's art into contexts of Christian devotional traditions and reform thought, not to dress the artist in pious robes but to reveal Titian's blazing pictorial intelligence at work at the very foundations of religious art. -Alexander Nagel, author of Medieval Modern: Art Out of Time An erudite study of Titian's small-format paintings of biblical subjects. Through a careful analysis of this group of paintings, and with particular attention to the early modern conflicts between the traditions of devotional images and theorizations of art, Nygren's book revises our understanding of Titian's position in the history of early modern sacred art. -Jodi Cranston, author of Green Worlds of Renaissance Venice In this groundbreaking investigation of Titian's understudied small-scale religious paintings, Christopher Nygren convincingly demonstrates in his rich and erudite analysis that these were high-stakes painterly performances that prompted-even scripted-certain devotional responses from their sophisticated beholders.
