Then last week another Rembrandt came up for auction, a painting of the artist's son Titus done between 1645 and 1648. Much smaller than the Met's Aristotle, it is a painting rich in charm, warm with sentiment. It shows an angelic child dressed in a grey-brown tunic and wearing a yellow cap topped with red and yellow plumes. Theatrical? Yes. But Rembrandt had reason for wanting to please the lad. His mother, Saskia, had died, and the servant girl Hendrickje Stoffels had only recently entered the house to care for him. To Rembrandt...
...Henry B. and Anne M. Cabot Professor of English. "Here's a new book by a very distinguished Shakespearian scholar and he says simply that no one questions the Shakespearian authorship of any of the plays in the First Folio. The only one he's not sure about is Titus Andronicus; he doesn't think it's good enough. I think he's wrong. It's very clever play--though it's not a pleasant one. But you see, 50 years ago no one would have said that...
...tragedy, it would require performances in the title role and surrounding parts of such delicate adjustment and balance as I can only barely conceive. I have never seen or read of such a production (Olivier's did not come close). No--why not admit it?--Richard III, like Titus Andronicus, is not a tragedy but a melodrama.

Abstract influence on the figure is found sensationally in a nude, raped, maimed Lavinia, daughter of Titus Andronicus, painted by Larry Rivers (for Show Magazine) to celebrate Shakespeare's 400th birthday. Willem de Kooning's Rosy-Fingered Dawn at Louse Point cocks the abstract expressionist's eye at nature. There is even the genial easel tradition in Raphael Soyer's portrait of his painting twin Moses...
