From Joslyn Art Museum Omaha Nebraska:
A consummate colorist, Titian exploited the oil medium — relatively recently introduced to Italy — to create effects that were quite unlike the clear, linear images of previous Florentine and Venetian painting. Modulating color and shadow through use of an unprecedented number of layered glazes, Titian created forms that are soft and glowing. His preference for diagonal emphasis in composition further broke with the classical conventions of Renaissance art and added dynamism to his canvasses that presaged the complexities of Baroque painting.
