Name lives on The phrase “Titian red,” still sometimes used to described the colour of some people’s hair, comers from the name of a Venetian painter, Titian. Titian lived from about 1477 to 1576, and was really named Tiziano Vecelli. He was a popular painter among the nobles of his time and was for
some years court painter to Emperor Charles V. He lived more than 80 years, and produced many works. He was clever in his use of colour and it was one of the shades of red he used which is still known as “Titian Red.” In 1971 one of his pictures sold in London for more than $2 million.
