Italian painter (6)
I believe the answer is:
titian
'italian painter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for titian that I've seen before include "Venetian painter - shade of red" , "Venetian old master, d. 1575" , "Venetian artist" , "Italian Old Master and colour" , "Painter; red tint" .)
