PAINTING - Christ Covered with Thorns - HIGH RENAISSANCE in VENICE
A LATER WORK by TITIAN. Age 83. (Compare with earlier Venus of Urbino #64). An elderly Titian was more devotional, regretful of nudes (a la Donatello). This is a devotional painting of torture of Christ. Not typical of Venetian use of bright color. Titian deserted color c/o it was too sensuous.
