The exhibition, Titien, Tintoret, Véronèse … Rivalités à Venise, officially translated as, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese... Rivals in Renaissance Venice, presented in the Louvre Museum from September 2009 to early January 2010 examined the context of professional life in the visual arts of Venice in the 16th century, as a means to a more complete understanding of some important internal aspects of the evolution of Venetian painting during that period. Conceived initially by Frederick Ilchman and shown at the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston from March to August 2009, it was expanded and developed to its final form with the contributions of curators Jean Habert and Vincent Delieuvin in Paris. The artistic relationships between the celebrated masters of Venice can be better understood, according to the exhibition’s concept, when related to the context in which these renowned painters developed their professional activities.
