"Titian's brother, Francesco Vecellio, is conspicuous for the small profit his relationship with Titian brought him. A few years Titian's senior (born probably in the mid or later 1480s), his beginning as a painter was set back by service as a soldier. We know no work of his before the first years of the second decade. . . . From the first he seems to have been content to accept the role of follower of his brother to which his closeness of relationship and distance in talent had condemned him. On occasion the working connexion between Francesco and Titian seems to have been close, and Francesco may even at times have performed the functions of a shop assistant."
