This insightful volume explores the use of imitation and the modern cult of originality through a consideration of the disparate fates of two Venetian painters - the canonized master Titian (c. 1488-1576) and his artistic heir, the little known Padovanino (1588-1649). "Titian Remade" compares three of Padovanino's paintings - "Sleeping Venus" (1610), "Triumph" (1620), and "Self-Portrait" (ca. 1630) - with corresponding works by Titian, and argues that repetition is not simply the last resort of the uninspired, but can be a positive act of artistic self-definition.
