The Titian Exhibit

I just realized I never posted anything about my latest visit to the High, so what better time than now. Typically my attention span for 'museum' art is very low. Wandering around and reading about ancient paintings and sculptures of Gods isn't exactly what I would call a good time, although I absolutely appreciate the work and its beauty. However, the Titian exhibit was actually very interesting to me. I realize that it is an exhibit and it should have a certain flow, however I was particularly intrigued by the descriptions throughout this one in particular. More so on the third floor than the second, the way the paintings and descriptions were set-up truly told a story. I was able to learn the background of Titian, what he did, and how all of his paintings came to be. It was very interesting to me that the royal family admired his work so much and paid for anything that he created. I even was very interested in observing the Diana's. While I normally can't stand in front of a painting and actually think about it, those two paintings have a very intriguing subject and fit together very nicely. What I surely enjoyed the most about the entire exhibit was the use of color in the paintings. I don't believe I have ever seen oil paintings with such vivid and boldly used colors, and that definitely set them apart from other works and genres. Very impressive exhibit all around!
