...powerfully gifted men set the art of painting on a new course while engaging each other in an intricate call-and-response, some of it admiring, some of it anything but. The complex dynamic of that decades-long game is charted with authority and lots of cinquencento dazzle in "Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese: Rivals in Renaissance Venice," an abundant show at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Conceived and co-organized by Frederick Ilchman, a Boston MFA curator, with Jean Habert of the Louvre, it runs through August 16 then moves to Paris, its only other venue. (See pictures...
...Titian was the pivotal figure in all this. Born on the mainland in 1488, he was brought to Venice as a child and eventually apprenticed with the most poised and elegant of Venetian masters, the brothers Gentile and Giovanni Bellini. In the Bellini workshop he would have learned to render the many formats of Christian iconography - the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Crucifixion - in the serene, harmonious manner that was Bellini's trademark...
...Serene, but a little static and ceremonious. The Virgin and Child with Saints, a panel painting from the Bellini workshop that was done in the years around 1505 when Titian worked there, is typical.

The genre is called a sacra conversazione - sacred conversation - but nobody in this picture seems to be on speaking terms. Less than a decade later, in Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine, Saint Dominic, and a Donor, Titian, by then in charge of his own studio, brought the Virgin...

...Dynasty of Art. The name Wyeth is familiar to almost every kid who ever had a library card, because it belongs to the most ambitious American art dynasty since the 18th century Philadelphia painter Charles Willson Peale named his children Rembrandt, Rubens, Raphaelle and Titian and brought two of them up to join a raft of relatives in the family trade. The Wyeth dynasty was founded when Newell Converse Wyeth went in 1903 from Massachusetts to Wilmington, Del., to study painting with the scholarly illustrator Howard Pyle. Often Pyle and his favorite pupil would journey the twelve miles...
