In the life of Titian
The whole life1529
First meeting with Emperor Charles V in Parma

1530–1539
The young Tintoretto in Titian's workshop
According to Tom Nichols, the very young Tintoretto, brought to Titian's studio by his father, probably entered the workshop between 1530 and 1539, but only for a very brief time. According to Ridolfi, after being cast out of the studio he resolved to become a painter by studying the canvases of Titian and the reliefs of Michelangelo, and wrote on his wall the motto “Michelangelo's design and Titian's colour”.
1531
A new house in Biri Grande
In 1531 Titian moved his two sons and infant daughter to a new house on the northern edge of Venice, in Biri Grande, with a workshop separated from the rest of the house, a private garden where he could air-dry and hide his paintings, and direct access to the lagoon for shipping them to patrons. His sister Orsa came from Pieve di Cadore to help manage the household and his business affairs.
