Titian's Calvin

[bookslover]

I used Google Images to bring up a portrait of Calvin by Titian. I was surprised to see that it doesn't look anything like him - at least not compared to the standard paintings of him that we usually see.

I'd post it on the PB but I don't know how. Check it out, though; he makes Calvin look kind of weird, and really old (at least to me).

I'm glad I did that, because I found something pretty funny.

Yep. That's the one. Almost makes him look Oriental. Startled me the first time I saw it.

Wish I could paint like that, though...
