The new season of La Grande Arte al Cinema by Nexo Digital returns to Italian cinemas with a documentary film dedicated to one of the symbolic painters of Venice and the Renaissance: Tiziano Vecellio (1488/1490-1576). The appointment is for October 3, 4, 5 with Titian. The realm of color, directed by Laura Chiossone and Giulio Boato and written by Lucia Toso and Marco Panichella under the supervision of Donato Dallavalle, a Sky production, Kublai Film, Zetagroup, Gebrueder Beetz and Arte ZDF. We present the trailer, the teaser trailer, the photos and the poster of the event.
The documentary chronicles nearly a century of the life of that boy who, in the early 1500s, in a gold-covered city rising in admiration above a submerged forest, descends from the mountains of the Dogado to be remembered as “the most exquisite of all painting “. Extraordinary artist and brilliant entrepreneur of his own, as innovative in composing a work as in knowing how to sell it, in a few years Titian became the official painter of the Serenissima and a great artist sought after by the richest and most famous courts in the world. Europe. From Ferrara to Urbino, from Mantua to Rome to the Spain of Charles V and his son Philip II, Titian spanned the century, illuminating it with his paintings and inspiring artists from all subsequent eras. Perfect interpreter of religion and mythology and portraitist of instant expressive power, he dominated his time by obscuring his contemporaries, always true to his motto: “art is more powerful than nature”.
In Titian. The empire of color, experts, critics, scholars and international artists tell the life and style of the artist, his temperament, his ambitions. And then Venice, which throughout its existence will remain the operational base to conquer and create an “empire of color”, an exceptional creative forge that can welcome travelers and influences from all over the world. Amina Gaia Abdelouahab, independent curator and art historian, co-founder and vice president of Project A, Bernard Aikema, professor of History of Modern Art at the University of Verona, Brunello Cucinelli, stylist and entrepreneur, financier, talk about it in the film by the Forum of Arts, Francesca Del Torre, scientific assistant at the Institute of Art History of the Cini Foundation and curator of Italian Renaissance painting at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Miguel Falomir Faus, director of the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, scholar of Italian Renaissance and Baroque painting, Sylvia Ferino-Pagden, curator of exhibitions, formerly curator of Italian Renaissance painting and director of the art gallery of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Jeff Koons, one of the most influential and followed artists in the world, Patrizia Piscitello, art historian, curator, head of the exhibition and Loan agency and curator of the 16th-century collections of the Museum and R eal Bosco di Capodimonte, Tiziana Plebani, historian, scholar of modern history at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, formerly head of the Department of History and Didactics of the Marciana National Library, Giorgio Tagliaferro, Associate Professor of Renaissance Art at the University of Warwick with a PhD in Art History from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
The investigation of his affection, like that for his beloved daughter Lavinia, and of the relations with the great personalities of his time: the Duke of Ferrara Alfonso I also composes the artist’s events; the poet and intellectual Pietro Aretino, a Renaissance rock star; the Marchioness of Mantua, collector and patron without equal, Isabella d’Este; the Emperor Charles V; Pope Paul III; the king of Spain Philip II; the famous “rival” Jacopo Tintoretto. If the tomb of Titian, who was killed by the plague in 1576, will be decorated only with a plaque for three centuries, his production will influence the great artists of the following eras and he will continue to dialogue with contemporaries, as Jeff Koons himself explains in the docufilm , in which he talks about his absolute fascination with the pictorial gesture and the workshop of Titian: elements that unite him after more than four hundred years with the revolutionary Venetian painter.
