Titus van Rijn (22 September 1641 – 4 September 1668) was the fourth and only surviving child of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn and Saskia van Uylenburgh. Titus is best known as a figure or model in his father's paintings and studies.
Titus was born in Amsterdam. After Rembrandt's bankruptcy in 1656, Titus and his stepmother Hendrickje Stoffels were named as in charge of Rembrandt's affairs and began an art-dealership, specializing in Rembrandt's work. At age 15, Titus made a will at his father's insistence, making his father sole heir.
In 1668, Titus married Magdalena van Loo (1641-1669). Her father was Jan van Loo, silversmith, whose brother was Gerrit van Loo, a lawyer in Het Bildt. The couple lived at Magdalena's mother's house on the Singel. They had one daughter, Titia (1669-1715), who married François van Bijler in 1686.
Titus van Rijn died in 1668 and was buried in the Westerkerk in Amsterdam. His wife, mother-in-law, and father all died a year later.
Titus (Latin:Titus Flāvius Caesar Vespasiānus Augustus; 30 December 39 AD – 13 September 81 AD) was Roman Emperor from 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death, thus becoming the first Roman Emperor to come to the throne after his own biological father.
Prior to becoming Emperor, Titus gained renown as a military commander, serving under his father in Judea during the First Jewish-Roman War. The campaign came to a brief halt with the death of emperor Nero in 68, launching Vespasian's bid for the imperial power during the Year of the Four Emperors. When Vespasian was declared Emperor on 1 July 69, Titus was left in charge of ending the Jewish rebellion. In 70, he besieged and captured Jerusalem, and destroyed the city and the Second Temple. For this achievement Titus was awarded a triumph: the Arch of Titus commemorates his victory to this day.
Under the rule of his father, Titus gained notoriety in Rome serving as prefect of the Praetorian Guard, and for carrying on a controversial relationship with the Jewish queen Berenice. Despite concerns over his character, Titus ruled to great acclaim following the death of Vespasian in 79, and was considered a good emperor by Suetonius and other contemporary historians.
Titus is the original soundtrack to the 1999 motion picture Titus. Elliot Goldenthal wrote the score for the film, an adaptation of Shakespeare's first, and bloodiest, tragedy Titus Andronicus; written and directed by Julie Taymor, Goldenthal's long-time friend and partner. The only non-Goldenthal piece is an old Italian song called "Vivere" performed by Italian singer Carlo Buti.
The Score
It is extremely experimental, like all of his other work, and the first piece "Victorius Titus" is reminiscent of The Imperial March by John Williams in its imposing, martial nature, and (unlike imperial march) in addition uses an archaic male choir chanting in Latin.
The score blends orchestral, jazz, rock and electronica styles and complements Taymor's unique and off-beat adaptation of the Shakespearean play. In keeping with many other Goldenthal scores the orchestra used was the British London Metropolitan Orchestra. The score also contains samples from earlier Goldenthal scores, the most glaring being a reworked version of "Wreckage and Rape" from the soundtrack to Alien 3, which plays during the dinner table fight scene.
Ernest van der Kwast in gesprek met Jeroen Giltaij over Titus, zoon van Rembrandt
Twee boeken: ‘Ilyas’ van Ernest van der Kwast en ‘Titus’ van Jeroen Giltaij. De één een roman, de ander non-fictie, maar de cover hebben ze gemeen: op de voorkant van beide boeken prijkt een portret van Titus van Rijn.
Schrijver Ernest van der Kwast en kunsthistoricus Jeroen Giltaij gaan op een wel heel bijzondere locatie in gesprek over deze Titus, zoon van Rembrandt van Rijn. In een van de kunstdepots van Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen nemen ze plaats naast ‘Titus aan de lessenaar’ (1655) om te praten over de herkomst en de geschiedenis van het schilderij, de andere Titus-meesterwerken van Rembrandt en de droom om de acht portretten die Rembrandt van zijn zoon heeft gemaakt voor het allereerst in een tentoonstelling samen te brengen.
