Titian’s Council of Trent

Titian’s Council of Trent
The Council of Trent, the 19th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, was held from 1545 to 1563 in the town of Trent in northern Italy. Convoked by Pope Paul III, the council responded to the Protestant Reformation and defined the dogmas of the church. Italian Renaissance painter Titian attended the council in about 1555 and recorded his impressions in this painting.
