Titian (Tiziano Vecellio, c. 1488/90-1576), the Venetian Renaissance painter, whose tomb Chekhov had already admired two letters earlier; here he records having actually seen one of Titian's paintings of the Madonna, most likely the \textit{Assunta} (Assumption of the Virgin) in the Basilica dei Frari, the same church housing Titian's own tomb.
