The Venetian conservation organisation Save Venice are releasing a new book next month detailing the restoration of six Titians which they have supported over the years. The publication was edited by Dr. Davide Gasparotto and Dr. Gabriele Matino.

According to their website:

During his career, Titian produced some of the most innovative paintings of his time, becoming the most celebrated Italian painter in Europe. Since 1971, Save Venice has supported the restoration of many of his masterpieces, including "Saint Mark Enthroned" (Basilica della Salute), the "Assumption of the Virgin" and the "Madonna di Ca’ Pesaro" (Basilica dei Frari), the "Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" (Gallerie dell’Accademia), the "Annunciation" at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, and the "Annunciation" in the Malchiostro Chapel in Treviso Cathedral. Funded by Save Venice with the support of Christopher Todd Page, this volume presents discoveries from these conservation campaigns, offering new insights into Titian’s creative process and technique, and publishing previously unseen details from the Save Venice photographic archive, alongside reflections by conservators and leading scholars.
