Giorgione dies; Titian finishes his paintings
In 1510 the plague raging in Venice took the life of Giorgione. Titian finished the pictures his friend had left incomplete, for example the “Sleeping Venus” and the “Pastoral Concert”, and, as is generally accepted, emerged from his shadow only after this death.

A petition to the Council of Ten: a battle canvas and a sansaria
On 31 May 1513 Titian petitioned the Council of Ten for a commission to paint a great battle scene for the Doge's Palace (completed only in 1538) and for the next available sansaria, a broker's patent at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi worth 120 ducats a year. The request was granted but reversed in March 1514, and he did not obtain the patent upon Bellini's death in late 1516; the appointment was withheld until 1523.
