The influence of Titian

Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio, I was walking down a corridor in the Louvre two months ago, and I looked at a painting by Titian next to this painting was a 'hard worked' copy of the same painting by Manet, it surprised me to see such a copy since the colors and some proportions were bit off and strange yet both paintings had something to say, I have been thinking a lot about the influence that Titian had over the art world, the Venetian war and his massive fame and fortune over his glazing and painting techniques, Titian was a merchant, a salesman and an incredible artist he was a giant in the painting world by the time he died and still is. When he died people broke into his house to steal his works, by the time Titian was in his thirties he was already gaining popularity to an incredible extent in other states and outside of Venice and Florence. What surprise me the most about Titian is his relentless pursuit of excellence and non-conformity.
