The result of long years of study and reflections on this work. Tiziano, in old age, can afford to make this painting without drawing but the construction takes place directly and only with color.
The near vision seems a chaotic set of brush strokes and signs that only from a distance take the shape we can admire.
It is a work in progress. The initial idea was that of the half-length bust, then he rethinks it and creates a more classic full-length work, that's why he adds two pieces of canvas and adds the saint's legs.
A master, in all senses.
