Michelangelo painted design and the male figure. Titian painted color and the female figure. Both men knew and were critical of each other. Both worked for the Catholic Church, and claimed Italy as their own. Both lived long healthy lives. Titian knew wealth, Michelangelo struggled. Titian enjoyed society, Michelangelo stayed to himself. Yet, Titian is to Venice what Michelangelo is to Rome.This book about Titian maps how his style changed over time as he moved from the finely detailed work of his early years to adding final touches with his fingers in his last decade. And, in "Noli Me Tangere" Titian gives us so much more than just the miraculous Resurrection of Christ. Fascinating background information on Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus and Mary Magdalene is also included.
