Saw the most remarkable painting, btw. In Frari, a large Gothic church by our hotel (or maybe it’s the other way around), there is a Titian painting of the Assumption in the center of the altar. As the light coming through the stained glass windows changed behind it, different aspect were illuminated, glowing red, orange and yellow as if burning from within. I could have stared for hours, watching the dramatic moment reveal and conceal itself as the sun slowly lowered in the winter sky.
So, now I’m looking for Titians in every church we find ourselves going in. Who knew I was a fan?
