It surveys generally accepted works, considers disputed attributions and portraits, and offers intermediate summaries alongside extended catalogues of additional pictures. The author analyzes stylistic features and the artist's place within early modern Venetian painting, weighing divergent modern judgments and visual impressions. Appendices reproduce relevant documents and debate the chronology of Titian.
