Show Notes
Painted in the last year's of Titian's life, the "Crowning with Thorns" in Munich revisited a theme that he painted 30 years earlier in a painting today located in the Louvre in Paris. Examined side by side, there is perhaps no better way to demonstrate the dramatic evolution of Titian's style to very loose and suggestive brushwork in the final stage of his career.
