Title: Photo of a Portrait of a Gentleman
Continuing with a few of the artist that I spotted on our last trip to the Legion of Honor, today I am showing Tiziano Vecellio (more commonly known as Titian) painting "Portrait of a Gentleman". I really like this painting, because it reminds me so much of a photograph. Something that today, you might say to your friend, "Say Cheese!" and poof - you've got a portrait. But, back in 1550 when this was done, it took Titian hundreds of hours to paint this.
Again, as I mentioned yesterday, try and get to the Legion of Honor and enjoy all of their wonderful art.
Enjoy!
