He proposed that "it was painted for a bagnio, and it was probably refused because it was a trifle too strong", adding humorously that "in truth, it is a trifle too strong for any place but a public art gallery".Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379829398318583919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-9219125765757491372011-01-25T09:31:03.895-05:002011-01-25T09:31:03.895-05:00I'm really looking forward to this tooI'm really looking forward to this tooManatee Writershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471414359646414655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-40153382952711639582011-01-25T09:03:17.969-05:002011-01-25T09:03:17.969-05:00Just finished reading a biography of Titian by Mar...Just finished reading a biography of Titian by Mark Hudson (pretty good and available on Kindle!).

I have no idea whether you're talking about mistakes to avoid in designing one's paintings, or misguided ideas about design commonly presented to artists as must-do principles of artistic achievement. Guess I'll have to stay tuned.....(though I'd wager you're talking about the former).<br /><br />About Raphael- I personally could never warm up to his full blown formal paintings, but his drawings are nothing short of amazing.
