As a representative painter of the Venetian School in the 16th century, Titian Vecellio was not only popular in Venice, but also known as the "Father of Western Oil Painting", almost as famous as Michelangelo. His extraordinary interpretation of idealized women gave female portraits an unprecedentedly important position in the European painting world.
