While the [[bubonic plague|plague]] raged in Venice, Titian died on 27 August 1576.<ref>{{cite book|title=Titian|first=Ian|last=Kennedy|publisher=Taschen|isbn=9783822849125|year=2006|page=95}}</ref> Depending on his unknown birthdate (see above), he was somewhere from his late eighties or even close to 100. Titian was interred in the Frari (Basilica di [[Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari]]), as first intended, and his ''Pietà'' was finished by [[Palma il Giovane]]. He lies near his own famous painting, the ''Madonna di Ca' Pesaro.'' No memorial marked his grave. Much later the Austrian rulers of Venice commissioned [[Antonio Canova]] to sculpt the large monument still in the church.{{sfn|Rossetti|1911|p=1024}}

Very shortly after Titian's death, his son, assistant and sole heir [[Orazio Vecellio|Orazio]], also died of the plague, greatly complicating the settlement of his estate, as he had made no will.{{sfn|Hale|2012|pp=722–723}}
