Summary:This book offers nine new approaches toward a single work of art, Titian's <i>Allegory of Marriage or Allegory of Alfonso d'Avalos</i>, dated to 1530/5. In earlier references, the painting was named simply Allegory, alluding to its enigmatic nature. The work follows in a tradition of such ambiguous Venetian paintings as Giovanni Bellini's <i>Sacred Allegory</i> and <i>Giorgione's Tempest</i>. Throughout the years, Titian's Allegory has engendered a range of diverse interpretations. Art historians such as Hans Tietze, Erwin Panofsky, Walter Friedlaender, and Louis Hourticq, to mention only a few, promoted various explanations. This book offers novel approaches and suggests new meanings toward a further understanding of this somewhat abstruse painting
