The term 'Venetian Master' refers to two of the most renowned painters of the Venetian school of the Italian Renaissance, Titian and Tintoretto. Titian, born in 1488, was a master of color and composition, and is considered one of the greatest painters of all time. Tintoretto, born in 1518, was known for his dramatic and bold use of light and shade. Both artists were highly influential in the development of the Venetian school of painting.
