Description:

"Titian Remade examines the dynamic role of repetition in early modern visual culture, at a time when imitation was a means to creation and repetition a form of originality. Following the exploits and disparate fates of Titian (ca. 1488-1576) and Padovanino (1588-1649), Maria H. Loh considers the processes of exchange - collaboration appropriation competition, and envy - that occurred between artists and artworks in Titian's lifetime and the century thereafter. Looking at the formidable myth of the Italian Renaissance through the eyes of its seicento successors, Titian Remade offers a vision of art as a continual process of retrieval and projection that effectively bonds the present to the past and the self to the others."--BOOK JACKET.
