Titian Remade: Repetition and the Transformation of Early Modern Italian Art
Titian Remade explores imitation and the modern cult of originality through a consideration of the disparate fates of two Venetian the canonized master Titian (ca. 1488-1576) and his artistic heir, the now-unremarked Padovanino (1588-1649). Reading the latter's Sleeping Venus (1610),
triumph (1620), and Self-Portrait (ca. 1630) against corresponding works by Titian, Maria H. Loh argues the case for repetition as a positive act of artistic self-definition. Her history of creative emulation and engaged viewing in early modern visual culture offers a profound vision of art as a
continual process of retrieval and projection that effectively bonds the present to the past and the self to the other.
