Paul Gauguin Paintings And Titian Paintings

By Darren Hartley


Paul Gauguin paintings reached broad success in the late 19th century. It was their bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts that set them apart from the work of the contemporaries of Paul. These paintings were the beginning of the Primitivism art movement. Not having any formal training, Paul Gauguin was a French artist who abandoned artistic conventions and simply followed his vision.

At first, Paul started painting only in his spare time but quickly became serious with his work. An important Paris art show, Salon of 1876, accepted one of his works. The Impressionists invited him to exhibit his work with them in 1879. Finally, the Vision of the Sermon, one of the most famous of Paul Gauguin paintings, was completed in 1888.

Paul began work on creative and innovative art with the fusion of Tahitian culture with his own in 1891. However, these Tahitian pieces were met with mixed interest by Parisian art aficionados in 1893. It was in French Polynesia that one of the later masterpieces among Paul Gauguin paintings was completed. This masterpiece was a review of the life cycle of man.

It did not take long for Tiziano Vecellio to be considered as the leading painter of Venice. It took only his first major public commission to do that. His early training under Giorgione was responsible for Titian paintings to have that tonal approach to them. Likewise, this training was the culprit for the atmospheric and evocative style to his landscape artworks.

The pastoral landscapes among the Titian paintings celebrated the beauty of nature alongside love and music. One particular landscape, Two Satyrs in a Landscape, featured mythological figures in a lush landscape whose untamed beauty contrasted with a carefully balanced arrangement.

What was remarkable in the portraits among Titian paintings is not only their suggestion of the status and importance of their subjects but their inclusion of a psychological dimension to them. Sensitivity in the hands and face as well as monumentality of presence are among the aspects that connote status and importance. The instigation of a melancholic or dreamy mood in the subjects exposes the mental dimension.
