To: Jenna Al-sakar:
Your query is three years old already, so you will probably no longer need this. But if you examine Titian’s painting anamorphically, you willl find he was the king of adding hidden social comment. His work, Joseph and the Wife of Potiphar which is a personal chattel, has over 100 such, in which he particularly denigrates the female involved with biblical and local put downs. As well, it contains problems which Titian had to overcome; proportions, for instance.

If you are still intersted, I can send you enough to make a
complete volume on this one painting, but it is far more interesting when combined with comparisons to his other works.

Hello! I am a History of Art student at University College London. I am currently doing a project on 6 of the pigments in TitianÃ¯Â¿Â½s Ã¯Â¿Â½Bacchus and AriadneÃ¯Â¿Â½: Ultramarine, azurite, vermilion, verdigris, lead tin yellow and orpiment. I am both discussing the pigments and describing TitianÃ¯Â¿Â½s and other artistsÃ¯Â¿Â½ use of them. It would be a great help and welcomed addition to my project if you could offer any further information on the pigments or on TitianÃ¯Â¿Â½s techniques.

Thank you so much, Jenna Al-sakar.

ah, you'd be surprised! the exhibition's been talked about on the radio stations in london, some of my friends at uni want to go too. oh, and a fun [this guy is one of the highlights of my degree] lecturer mentioned it the other day, dix points for cultcha.* And Titian = dark auburn, and thus is great.
