Seems it would support the Galleries to put back the Masterpiece Idea. This Titian is the painting at the Met even if you don't exactly like it that today supports most of what we see as Art. From the Greek and Roman Art before it which revives the ideas of surface intelligence which it supports to this day.
See how the background is contained into a shape which projects forward tying the foreground color to the back. The Nude and Cupid are one very simple shape, among other simple shapes sumptuously treated with a texture of richness.
Its completeness is a quality which has the power to center us in our viewing, and in our world. It is synonymous with Art itself and stands for Art's power.
I know that sounds funny today but I do believe it, I don't just believe it-- it is very real exhibited right here.
Almost nothing else has this level of power. As the paintings line up and make an order, it makes who we are, were--are today, will be tomorrow, --?
These are some of the supporting characters.
