Abstract

Throughout his career, James alluded to the works of Titian in his fiction and essays. While criticism has acknowledged that he referred to Titian more than any other painter, the fact that his portrayals were often ambivalent has not been commented on. Seeing Titian's paintings as a means to probe what an image communicates and what it might conceal, James used the painter's work to reflect upon the meaning of aesthetics, exploring and critiquing contemporary artistic theories, as well as analyzing the changing character of America during the Gilded Age.
