' … every chapter presents fascinating and plausible interpretations of the work. ,,, excellently demonstrates how varying arguments can coexist in a single text without denigrating the other, which is admirable. Overall, Titian’s Allegory of Marriage: New Approaches delivers a number of pioneering analyses on one of Titian’s most elusive works'

Titian's Allegory of Marriage
New Approaches
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
This book offers nine new approaches toward a single work of art, Titian’s Allegory of Marriage or Allegory of Alfonso d’Avalos, dated to 1530/5. In earlier references, the painting was named simply Allegory, alluding to its enigmatic nature. The work follows in a tradition of such ambiguous Venetian paintings as Giovanni Bellini’s Sacred Allegory and Giorgione’s Tempest. Throughout the years, Titian’s Allegory has engendered a range of diverse interpretations. Art historians such as Hans Tietze, Erwin Panofsky, Walter Friedlaender, and Louis Hourticq, to mention only a few, promoted various explanations. This book offers novel approaches and suggests new meanings toward a further understanding of this somewhat abstruse painting.
