Titian's wife, Cecilia, was a barber's daughter from his hometown village of Cadore. As a young woman she had been his housekeeper and mistress for some five years. Cecilia had already borne Titian two fine sons, Pomponio and Orazio, when in 1525 she fell seriously ill. Titian, wishing to legitimize the children, married her.
Portrait of Francesco Maria della Rovere is an oil on canvas painting by Titian, from 1536-1538. It depicts Francesco Maria I della Rovere, Duke of Urbino. It is held now in the Uffizi, in Florence. Signed TITIANVS F.[ECIT], it forms a pair with the same artist's Portrait of Eleonora Gonzaga della Rovere, Francesco's wife, also in the Uffizi. [1]
The Miracle of the Jealous Husband is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Titian, executed in 1511 as part of the decoration of the Scuola del Santo in Padua, northern Italy. [1] It portrays a man stabbing his wife after she has been unjustly accused of adultery.
The painting also contains echoes of the artist's personal circumstances at the time; on 6 August 1530 his wife Cecilia died giving birth to their third child, Lavinia, who was then entrusted to Titian's sister Orsa (just as the Christ Child in the painting is entrusted into another woman's hands, in this case Catherine of Alexandria).
Titian actually used his wife, who died in childbirth soon after, as the model for the Virgin Mary in this work. [3] The large red banner at the far left prominently displays the papal arms in the center and those of Jacopo below. Also displayed is a laurel branch, a symbol of victory.
Detailed analysis of her jewelry, dress and hairstyle may give more clues, as does the fan she is carrying. It has long been assumed that Titian had depicted his daughter Lavinia in her bridal gown. However, she married six years before this painting was created, and his fourth child and other daughter, Emilia, didn't marry for another seven years.
Portrait of Laura Dianti is a c. 1520–25 [1] painting by Titian, now held in the H. Kisters Collection at Kreuzlingen. It is signed "TICI/ANVS F." The portrait features Laura Dianti, mistress, and later wife of the Duke of Ferrara Alfonso I d'Este and an African page.
