# Venus with a Mirror [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TIZIANO Vecellio]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 115 x 84 cm ## Commentary Venus with a Mirror c. 1550 Oil on canvas, 115 x 84 cm Galleria Franchetti, Ca' d'Oro, Venice The canvas, cut to the right, is one of the many variations of the very popular subject painted in the workshop of Titian. Venus with a Mirror had achieved a remarkable success so dozen of copies were made. None of the variants, now treasured in many museums and collections, can be undoubtably attributed to Titian, although the studies tend to identify the 'original one' exhibited at the National Gallery in Washington. The painting from the collection Franchetti, for a certain softness of constructiveness, typical for the artist, and impalpable lightweight curtain depiction, is attributable with great certainty to the the master himself. ## Related artworks - [A Knight of Malta]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Allegory of Time Governed by Prudence]() - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle \(detail\)]() - [Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
