Panel picture representing the Temptation of Christ by Tiziano Vecelli called "Titian", 1476(?)-1576
A 1925 New York exhibition catalogue from Reinhardt Galleries, compiled by Raymond Henniker-Heaton and held in the Lessing J. Rosenwald reference collection, reproducing a panel painting attributed to Titian for collectors and art readers. The first picture is a decorative title page with a Art Nouveau style border, floral roundels and a landscape medallion in plain black line, which suggests ornamental lettering and framed central emblems. The second is a half-length oil portrait of a bearded Christ with a pale halo, one hand resting on his chest while a young figure in dark dress reaches toward him, showing warm flesh tones against cool blue and rose drapery.
