    I have seen prints of the Assumption many times and never took note of the artist.
    I am attracted to his beautiful rich sense of color in his paintings.
    Thanks for this lesson on Titian this FAF.

    I'm just realizing that this is why Nancy Drew was called Titian haired, is it not?

    Very nice, thank you.

    To be honest, although I was familiar with that painting, I didn't realize it was a work by Titian.

    Mimi, wow, I didn't realize that either.

    Teresa, I was a Trixie Belden fan myself. :-)
