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”.

“The Battle of Cadore”: a threat to repay the money
The battle canvas for the Doge's Palace, commissioned in 1513, remained unfinished by June 1537: according to a document dated 23 June 1537 the Council demanded he return the funds paid for the years in which he had done no work, and a serious competitor, Pordenone, who since at least 1520 had challenged Titian's primacy in Venice, was available to replace him. He completed the canvas, the “Battle of Cadore”, in 1538; it was later lost in a fire at the Doge's Palace.

A triumphant trip to Rome
In 1545–1546 Titian made a triumphant trip to Rome, painting portraits of Pope Paul III and meeting Michelangelo. Returning to Venice, he found that the most lucrative commissions were going to other, younger artists.
