Several of his\\ncontemporaries, including the authors and art theorists Giorgio Vasari, Francesco\\nPriscianese, Pietro Aretino, and Ludovico Dolce, wrote accounts of Titian\\u2019s\\nlife and work. \\n\\n\\n\\nIn this episode, Getty assistant curator of paintings Laura\\nLlewellyn discusses what these \\u201clives\\u201d teach us about Titian and the artistic\\ndebates and rivalries of his time. All of these biographies are gathered\\ntogether in Lives of Titian, recently\\npublished by the Getty as part of our Lives of the Artists series.'
