Summary In this short illustrated book, Mazzotta presents the experience, together with Titian's native landscape of PievediCadore, as crucial influence in the artist's early representation of nature. The recently restored "Flight into Egypt" (now in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg) - probably painted when Titian was still a teenager - is a vivid proof of his interest in the depiction of animals, plants and figures in the landscape. The chosen comparisons by the author suggest that Titian was as innovative and as influential in his view of nature as he was in portraiture.
General notePublished in conjunction with the exhibition "Titian's first masterpiece: The Flight into Egypt," held at the National Gallery, London, Apr. 4-Aug. 19, 2012.
