Titian Quotes:
1. The painter must always seek the essence of things, and always represent the essential characteristics and emotions of the person he is painting.
2. A good painter needs only three colours: black, white and red.
3. It is not bright colours but good drawing that makes figures beautiful.
4. Painting done under pressure by artists without the necessary talent can only give rise to formlessness, as painting is a profession that requires peace of mind.
5. He who improvises can never make a perfect line of poetry.
 
Salvator Mundi (Christ Blessing), c. 1570
