Description

This book offers nine new approaches toward a single work of art, Titian’s Allegory of Marriage or Allegory of Alfonso d’Avalos, dated to 1530/5.

In earlier references, the painting was named simply Allegory, alluding to its enigmatic nature.

The work follows in a tradition of such ambiguous Venetian paintings as Giovanni Bellini’s Sacred Allegory and Giorgione’s Tempest.

Throughout the years, Titian’s Allegory has engendered a range of diverse interpretations.

Art historians such as Hans Tietze, Erwin Panofsky, Walter Friedlaender, and Louis Hourticq, to mention only a few, promoted various explanations.

This book offers novel approaches and suggests new meanings toward a further understanding of this somewhat abstruse painting.
