loose brushwork and subtlety of polychromatic modulations are without precedent in the history of Western art. The exact date of Titian’s birth is uncertain; when he was an old man he claimed in a letter to Philip II to have been born in 1474‚ but this seems most unlikely.

This all gives Christianity a bad name and makes it difficult to witness‚ when the unsaved don’t see any benefit in being identified with such a group.

These two novels helped my research tremendously and gave me a starting
