Romania Jesus Christ Stamp Ecce Homo V. Tiziano Art Paint MNH

Titian (1477?-1576), the greatest 16th-century Venetian painter and the shaper of the Venetian coloristic and painterly tradition. He is one of the key figures in the history of Western art. A pupil of Bellini and an early follower of Giorgione, Tiziano Vercellio, better known as Titian, was the most gifted High Renaissance painter in Venice and as such was a worthy rival of Raphael and Michelangelo. Among his most admired early works is Sacred and Profane Love (1515?, Galleria Borghese, Rome), an allegorical picture in which two women, one nude (Sacred Love) and the other fully clothed (Profane Love), are seated opposite each other in a serene manner reminiscent of Giorgione's mysterious world. The Assumption of the Virgin (1516-1518), a huge oil painting for the main altar of Santa Maria dei Frari in Venice, is one of Titian's masterpieces. The figure of the Virgin is depicted soaring above the apostles and moving toward God the Father, shown in the curved top of the painting. Warm tones, such as vivid reds and golden yellows, dominate. Titian also excelled in treating classical subjects, as exemplified by Bacchus and Ariadne (1520-1523, National Gallery, London) and Worship of Venus (1518-1519, Prado, Madrid), both executed for the duke of Ferrara.

Titian is back at the Brukenthal Museum with his work "Ecce Homo" (oil/canvas, 65,5 x 53 cm, inv. 1196). It is of notoriety that this work was stolen from the museum in 1968, together with other seven works of exceptional value.

The painting, representing one of the most successful images of Christ, stresses the virile resoluteness of the Martyr’s features and his austere dignity.
