Titian
A Titian Travels To Washington An erotic landscape by Titian that inspired Manet's celebrated ''Déjeuner sur l'Herbe'' is coming to the United States for the first time as part of ''Bellini, Giorgione, Titian and the Renaissance of Venetian Painting,'' an exhibition opening at the National Gallery of Art in Washington on June 18. Until 20 years ago the work, ''Pastoral Concert (Concert Champêtre),'' about 1510, was thought to be by Titian's elder rival Giorgione. It shows why these Venetian pictures have this extraordinary brilliance of color. Recent X-rays and infrared reflectography conducted at the Louvre on the Titian painting reveal his original design beneath the top layer of paint.
