To the Titian!

I really had no idea what to expect upon entering the High yesterday on my mission to see the Titian (Rhyme unintentional). Initially I was very perplexed by what the exhibit offered; I had expected nothing but a mass of awe-inspiring paintings and perfected artwork by great Victorian artists. Rather, the sketchings provided some insight as to how much work and effort goes into these grand works.
The majority of the pieces capitalized on religious figures from varying faiths and mythologies. My favorite theme in any of them, despite my lack of understanding in its importance, was how some of the important figures from the Christian paintings had small circles of some sort that resembled halos about their heads. I really am not sure why I found that so be so intriguing, and perhaps I will research not only the meaning behind the different types of circles but also the figures who were painted with them on.
My only complaints about this exhibit would possibly be the flooring and the lack of sound-proofing of any sort. It was really hard to reflect on a piece when all I can hear is CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP and when there are art fanatics who are debating about who's opinion on a piece is more right. Otherwise, everything was fine.
