1 work across 1 institution

Tokyo's National Museum of Western Art holds 1 work by Titian (1488–1576) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Titian's career spanned over seventy years, and his late work — loose, almost impressionistic in handling — anticipates everything that would come after. In person, his use of colour is revelatory: the Venetian palette, warm and rich, with shadows that glow rather than merely darken.
