Ep. 30: Giorgione and Titian: Sleeping Venus and the Venus of Urbino

In our third and final discussion on Giorgione, this episode covers his final work, the Sleeping Venus, which was finished by Titian upon his death. A close look at the history of this painting helps understand the development of Titian's style in light of Giorgione, which ultimately arrives at his most famous work, the Venus of Urbino. This conversation compares the two paintings, understanding Titian's masterpiece as a result of Giorgione's influence.

Om Podcasten

*Bi-monthly episodes will resume early 2024*Welcome to the Italian Renaissance Podcast, where we discuss the culture and art of fifteenth and sixteenth century Italy. This podcast aims not only to provide a general overview of historical themes of the Renaissance, but also to dive deeply into my interpretation of how we understand the period today through analysis of key figures, moments, texts, but most importantly, the art. I intend this podcast to be both a useful study guide for students, and an engaging and digestible source of information for a general audience interested in enhancing their own understanding of Western history.
