Christ and Art

Look a church! Did you think we would cover our photos of Venice without one of these? And art? Those Venetians weren't into art!

Ahhhhh...Assumption of the Virgin (Assunta). Do you recognize this Titian? Its not Pleasanton Titian. Its Venetian Titian. (You know, the other lesser known one!) This picture was painted between 1516-1518. It hangs in the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. To see it up close is so amazing. Jason lost his marbles at its overwhelming beauty.

Finally, a happy Madonna. And not in a 1970's retro-leotard!
