Venus with a Mirror — Titian

Italian Renaissance

What to look for

Titian: rich, glowing colour — deep reds, warm flesh, Venetian blue skies — built in layers, with loose, open brushwork in his later pictures.

Tiziano Vecellio, Latinized as Titianus, hence known in English as Titian ( TISH-ən), was an Italian Renaissance painter. The most important artist of Renaissance Venetian painting, he was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno. Wikipedia
