The fifth section features men-at-arms and stories of battles, while the final chapter is titled Painting Nature and Everyday Life.
"Titian used the countryside as a vehicle for expressing human emotion, putting it front and center of his work in a way few had done before," Bisceglia says. Drawing inspiration from Titian, Jacopo Bassano (1510-1592) later refined the concept of the landscape, which dominated European painting until the late 19th century and the dawn of Impressionism.
This is the third exhibition born out of the agreement between the Bund one Art Museum and the Uffizi. Xie says that the agreement is to organize 10 exhibitions in Shanghai over a period of five years.
The fourth exhibition under the agreement, 18th Century Masterpieces: From the Uffizi Galleries, opens on Friday and runs until Aug 25, and presents 80 paintings by 50 artists, including Goya, Tiepolo, Canaletto and Boucher.
