Proposal Title
Titian Mary Magdalene
Abstract
In my presentation I will discuss the investigation I have begun one of the last paintings by Titian, the Pieta that was painted to mark his tomb in the church of the Frari in Venice. This church is the location of two of Titians early and most famous paintings, the Assunta and The Pesaro Alterpiece. My research concerns how Titian intended this painting to relate to the two earlier ones. I believe that Titian is both commenting on his own works in the church and is making a final statement on the Christian meaning of the human body through his unusual depiction of Mary Magdellen in the Pieta.
