Notes;
*Titian, Danae, 1545
"it's a pitty, that in Venice, they do not know how to draw very well'
Based on Michelangleo's vision of "Night". the colorist style is lacking in design.  Style; color pattern, pose (painting now to poetry),

*Titian, "Noli me Tangere" 1512
supposedly unfinished Gorgonia, finished by Titian. Mary Magdeline and Christ, after the reserection, it's interesting that God shows to women first. This depicts Mary yerning for Christ but no longer being able to touch him. Style

*Flying of Marsyas, 1576
Uses brushes as big as brooms, or his fingers (God paints with his fingers, why not him as well)
a good artist only needs three colors; red black and white.
If you love painting, you have to love Titian. Unlike Bolini, he uses rhetoric and gestures that are not quite real but which kept the idea of the Renaissance. ]

*Titian , Penitent Megdalen, Florence, Pitti, 1530-35
