Tiziano Vecelli, known as Titian in English, is a famous renaissance artist from the 15-16th centuries. Titian is seen as one of the most versatile artists in Italy as his styles constantly changed throughout his career. Though he may have changed styles, he was always consistent on his use of colour. Though some of his earlier works may not have been as bright, his loose brush work and subtlety of tone were motifs in all of his pieces.
During the 16th period, Titian grew and matured in his Giorgionesque style and undertook larger and more complex subjects in his work. In 1521, Titian rose to the height of his fame after his figure of Saint Sebastian. Later, Titian created a sieges of small madonnas, in which he placed amongst beautiful landscapes and backgrounds. The softness to his pieces are very encapsulating and his use of tone and colour is unmatched. I find his work beautiful and intriguing to look at due to its soft features but immense detail.

Paige,
A few things here. First your information is very sparse and although this is information from some of your research there needs to be more. Most important though is I would like more of your personal thoughts about the artist you are blogging about. What attracts you to a particular painter, what works resonate with you? That sort of thing. Lastly I’ve asked students to post on an artist I didn’t lecture on and I did lecture on Titian the second week.
Anyhow next time let’s see a step up here.

Good, if brief, storytelling. Using Grammarly, or reading aloud, would help you catch small missteps: renaissance (Renaissance) and incomplete sentences: In 1521, Titian rose to the height of his fame after his figure of Saint Sebastian. Not sure what encapsulating means, or if you mean to say: due to its soft features contrasted with… or combined with immense detail. Overall, good job.
