A Compelling Unorthodox Originality in Venetian Art

Painting by Titian "Assunta" oil on linen 690 × 360 cm 1516-1518

Painting by Titian
“Assunta”
oil on linen
690 × 360 cm
1516-1518

On a BBC show on Venetian Art, it was said that Venetian art had a compelling unorthodox originality.

But until Titian, Venetians were accused of failure to elevate painting out of the material world to an expression of an idea.

Random Quote

I have also come to the conclusion that the square is a human invention, which makes it sympathetic to me. Because you don’t see it in nature. As we do not see squares in nature, I thought that it is man-made. But I have corrected myself. Because squares exist in salt crystals, our daily salt. We know this because we can see it in the microscope.
