Product Description

""The Death of Titian"" is a novella by the Austrian writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal, originally published in 1892. The story is set in Venice in the year 1576, during the final days of the famous painter Titian. The novella is a fictionalized account of the artist's death, and explores themes of art, mortality, and the passing of an era.The story is narrated by a young man who is a friend and prot��g�� of Titian. As the painter lies dying, the narrator reflects on his own life and the role that art has played in it. He also observes the reactions of those around Titian, including his family, his assistants, and his patrons. Through their interactions, the novella explores the complex relationships between artists, their work, and the society in which they live.""The Death of Titian"" is known for its richly evocative language and its vivid descriptions of the Venetian setting. It is also notable for its exploration of the themes of art and mortality, which would become central to Hofmannsthal's later work. The novella has been praised for its sensitive portrayal of the artist's final days, and for its ability to capture the essence of a particular moment in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
