Red artist? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

titian

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'red' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'artist?' is the second definition.
(Titian is an example)

(Other definitions for titian that I've seen before include "The painter Tiziano Vecellio" , "Italian painter, d. 1576" , "Venetian Renaissance painter" , "Italian 16th-century painter" , "Colour named after artist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
