Like all good #arthistory, Sheila Hale's massive (over 700 pages of text) Titian: His Life (2012) keeps on sending you back to #Titian's works. As a social history based biography, Hale explores the social & political context the surrounds Titian as well as his life, contacts & work. But, its a compelling read (for all its length) & is only let down by the paucity of reproductions. It you're interested in Titian, this is a 'must read'! @bookstodon
