...detail like landscape or jewelry, and be amazed by the different ways Titian handles it. You can look past Bacchus' right knee and enjoy the view of a far-off city and misty mountains. Or you can side-step the central struggle of Tarquin and Lucretia and examine the rapist's brocade vest, an illusion created by indicating the pattern in some areas then scribbling in others.
