Giovanni Bellini (Italian, c. 1430–1516) and Titian (Italian, 1490–1576) • The Feast of the Gods • 1514 -1529 • National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This painting, an important High Renaissance work, is perhaps the most prestigious artwork of the era acquired by an American museum. It was begun by Bellini in 1514 and finished by Titian by 1529.

Various parts of the painting are obvious as to their author. As examples, the tree trunks (right) are characteristic of Bellini, whereas the satyrs are in the style of Titian (left).

Feast of the Gods (details)

There are a lot of mythological characters in this painting and lots going on with them! To assist us, included is the annotated detail below.

The ritual depicted in the painting and its meaning are much contested among art history scholars. We'll not get into that debate due its complicated, time-consuming nature being difficult to explain succinctly. Suffice it to say that there is a morsel of humor in the myth regarding Priapus (far right canvas) and Lotis. As Priapus was about to lift Lotis's tunic, Silenus's donkey begins to bray, disturbing Lotis from her nap and disrupting Priapus's ploy to get a glimpse of what tempts him under the skirt of Lotis! Mercury looks like he's had a few too many, Jupiter is still drinking, though not standing, and a young Bacchus helps himself to more of his bounty. And Pan plays on.

something very personal to me is how titian loved a good fat woman. like that’s me i see in these pieces. nothing beats that feeling.

#the top left portrait of isabella d’este is a favorite #more artists render fat women with grace and beauty like titian and rubens challenge #titian #art history #fat positvity #art

Letter to a Modern Artist, part I

“I have been meaning to write: I have circled the writing pad as the swans circled Delos; I have hovered above the white paper as the Eagles hover above the compound in the Philosophic Egg, hoping for a birth of the spirit that drives one to get things done. The trouble with me is I have always got my nose buried in heart and mind consuming stuff, and when I finallly look up whoa! It's already spring. And here's me thinking it's only 3 a.m. I have obviously lost the ability to tell late from early. Do you know where early ends and late starts?

I am aware that you consider me particularly ignorant on the subject of Art, and I really do not take offense at such an evaluation, as it is probably more right than wrong. But the works of Art I like are not ignorant and the beauty of them are not in the least affected by my ignorance, but, as I look upon them, find myself washed clean of the leprosy of false art, with which the world is filled to brimming. Perhaps it would be useful at this point to give you a list of small selection of the works I value, because, God forbid, it might be Andy Warhole for all you know, and unless you know what I value, you cannot know where my heart is. If Earth was heaven, I should live in a Gothic Cathedral with great rose windows and make a portal just like the Virgin portal at Notre-Dame. The doors would be Ghiberti's and the ceilings Michelangelo's. On the walls I'd hang Leonardo's St. John and the Annunciation, Poussin's Et in Arcadia Ego (Les Bergers d'Arcadie. Later version of the Louvre), also Poussin's Orpheus and Eurydice. Titian's Bacchus and Ariadne, and The Entombment I'd fetch from the Louvre. The same gallery would also suffer the loss of the Silver Statue of the Virgin and Child and Amiens Cathedral would be minus their Madonna. Bernini and Michelangelo would supply the centerpieces and Cellini the golden nic-nacs. The Greeks would be useful as tile layers, but hey, who would object to a few Romans lending a helping hand? I should ask God to plant me a garden but this time without Adam and Eve, those greedy fruit eaters.

All these great works are full of symbolism for those who care to read them. They are hieroglyphs from God, created in stone or on canvas by the Servants of the Lords of Light. And I truly believe that to be a true Artist is to be a Servant of the Higher Powers and of Truth; for to be otherwise is to be a creator of wallpaper—or of shelf-fillers—or of infernal cacophony.

But the pure Beauty of Great Art lifts the thoughts away from earthly cares and woes, and brings Grace to the inner minds of those who look upon them with eyes that see; clarifying the sight until there are no more boundaries and no distance. I see these Works as the materialized 'shadows' of Holy Inspiration, earthly representatives of what the great Artist sees in his enlightened Vision, and which he can only reproduce as best he can with whatever talent and sweat is his. (I can only imagine that the true Artist will never be satisfied with the reproduction of his vision, for no work of Art can ever tell us exactly what those who wrote or painted saw or heard or felt in their visions. And I speak here only of great works, not of the twaddle poured out by would-be artists.)”

The Flaying Of Marsyas

Artist: Titian | Year (completed): 1576 | Period: Mannerism

Iris Murdoch, a novelist, once proclaimed The Flaying of Marsyas the most outstanding work of art in the history of Western culture. Not much information is known surrounding the painting. To whom the late Titian masterpiece was intended, whether it was finished (although it is signed), and whether it was changed after the artist's passing are all unknown. It illustrates Ovid's tragic narrative of the satyr Marsyas, who lost a duel with the deity Apollo in a contest and was sentenced to a horrible demise. The artwork is crammed with a large cast of creatures and people, some taking part in the horrifying, nauseating rite of painstakingly removing flesh from Marsyas’ bones while others are just contemplating. The painting appears incomplete or possibly abandoned when viewed up close, as it's incredibly messy and agitated. There's pain, passion, and brutality everywhere.

The most incredible and memorable visit to the @galleriaborgheseufficiale earlier this week. It was a complete pleasure to visit this gallery, which is housed in a sumptuous villa, formerly belonging to the prominent Borghese family. Rome has been truly magical.

NO LESS THAN THE PURSUIT OF THE DIVINE IN THE FACE OF CARNAL TEMPTATIONS.

PIC(S) INFO: Resolution at 3051x1837 -- Spotlight on a piece titled "Venus and organist and little dog," part of the "Venus with Musician" painted series by Italian painter, drawer, architectural draftsperson, and printmaker, Titian (1490-1576). Now housed at Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain.

PIC #2: Resolution at 1888x1272 -- "Venus with an Organist and Cupid," c. 1555. Oil on canvas. Artwork by Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), born in Pieve di Cadore, Belluno, Veneto (Italy), 1490 - Venice (Italy), 1576.

OVERVIEW: "Titian painted five images of Venus and music, but those five variations on a single theme were not made for the same client, nor intended to be exhibited together. Set in a villa, they show Venus reclining before a large window. At her feet, an organist (in the versions at the Museo del Prado and the Staatliche Museen in Berlin) or a lutenist (at the Metropolitan Museum of New York and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge) play their instrument as they contemplate the goddess’s nudity.

Meanwhile, she looks away, distracted by the presence of a dog, or of Cupid. These works’ typology indicates they date from the final stage in the development of one of Titian’s subgenres: the reclining female nude, which began with his "Sleeping Venus" (Dresden, Gemäldegalerie) and continued with the "Venus of Urbino" (Florince, Galleria degli Uffizi)."

giorgione -- "sleeping venus" (ca. 1520)

"he was one of the greatest of all venetian artists, but who was giorgione?" ... john-paul stonard "the painting, one of the last works by giorgione (if it is), portrays a nude woman whose profile seems to echo the rolling contours of the hills in the background. it is the first known reclining nude in western painting" ... wikipedia "scarcely five paintings can be ascribed with absolute certainty to [giorgione's] hand. yet these suffice to secure him a fame nearly as great as that of the great leaders of the new [venetian] movement" ... ernst gombrich "the 'sleeping venus' [...] is a painting traditionally attributed to the italian renaissance painter giorgione, although it has long been usually thought that titian completed it after giorgione's death in 1510. the landscape and sky are generally accepted to be mainly by titian. in the 21st century, much scholarly opinion has shifted further, to see the nude figure of venus as also painted by titian, leaving giorgione's contribution uncertain" ... wikipedia "he seems more of a myth than a man. no poet on earth has a destiny to compare with his. almost nothing is known of him, some people even doubt his very existence [...] yet all the art of venice seems inflamed by his revelation" ... gabriele d'annunzio "giorgione MUST have had a helluva public relations agent, no?" ... al janik
