Titian Exhibit

       My most recent trip to the high museum was based around the exhibit: Titian and the Golden Age of Venetian Painting. Included in the show were twenty five sketches and paintings all encompassed in the multi-level exhibit. Before arriving at The High I was unsure if I would enjoy the style of work I was sent to go see. The red walls of the exhibit were the most striking to me because it was so unlike any of the other exhibits I had gone to see. 
       My favorite part of the exhibit was the sketches all the way at the beginning of the exhibit. One set of sketches in particular caught my eye, and that was "the studies for the baptism of Christ". The drawings themselves were not only extremely detailed but simply beautiful even without being a part of a larger picture. These sketches in no way are a finished drawing, but hold a certain raw beauty to be appreciated. This particular piece was unique in that sketches were drawn on both sides of a paper, and both sides were showcased with a double sided framing and display.

       Overall I was happy that we were sent to see the Titian exhibit because it was something that I wouldn't have chosen to see myself. I also enjoyed seeing pieces like the sketch described above that aren't the typical finished paintings or sculptures as seen in the rest of the museum. I would surely recommend others to see the Titian exhibit as well.
