Desubleo combines Renis sensual depiction of the human form, citing his Sacred and Profane Love (Palazzo Spinola, Genoa), with a magnificent still life comprised of musical instruments, painters palette, fragments of sculpture, and armor that must have satisfied his learned humanist audience who—ideally, at least—balanced material pleasures with virtuous behavior..

Venus and the Lute Player. Artist: Titian (Italian, Pieve di Cadore ca. 1485/90-1576 Venice) and Workshop. Dimensions: 65 x 82 1/2 in. (165.1 x 209.6 cm). Date: ca. 1565-70.Titian and his workshop painted the theme of Venus and a musician in multiple versions during the latter part of his career. Venus's contours would be transferred to a new canvas and laid in by the workshop, varying the composition. In this majestic example, Titian fully painted the landscape as well as attended to the flesh tones of Venus, but other parts, such as the viol, remained unfinished. These paintings celebrate the coming together of love and music, but they may also allude to contemporary debates concerning "seeing" versus "hearing" as the primary means for perceiving beauty.

Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness 1597-1608 . Adam Elsheimerís small paintings on copper show a remarkable ability to evoke a poetic setting for his figures. Arriving in Rome in 1600 while still in his early twenties, Elsheimer responded to the cityís antique monuments and to its extraordinary artistic ferment. In this work, painted just a few years after he settled in Rome, the woodland landscape teeming with wildlife is still indebted to the northern Mannerist tradition, while the youthful saint echoes antique sculpture in a pose that is at once vulnerable and grandiose. Though Elsheimer died tragically early after only ten years in the Eternal City, his paintings exercised a powerful influence on his fellow artists in Rome and north of the Alps.. Oil on copper .
