[edit] History
In the conflict between Venice and the Empire, at the beginning of the 16th century, during the War of the League of Cambrai, the Venetians and Cadorines defeated the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I in 1508 at the so-called Battle of Valle di Cadore.
During the period 1530-50, as was foreshadowed by his "Martyrdom of St. Peter", Titian devoted himself more and more to the dramatic style, producing historical scenes, of which unhappily it is difficult to judge, the most characteristic having been much injured or destroyed; thus, the "Battle of Cadore", the artist's greatest effort to master movement and to express even tumult, his most violent attempt to go out of himself and achieve the heroic.
