  1. Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) by Titian

  2. This picture depicts Christ comforting Mary Magdalene after his resurrection. At first she thinks he’s a gardener, but when she recognizes him he tells her not to touch him, which is where the name – touch me not – has come from. The words were popular in Gregorian chants. Scholars who are interested in humanism use this painting to evaluate Christ’s humanity and sexuality. They compare Magdalene to Venus (the Roman goddess of love and lust) due to the fact that Titian depicts Venus in a similar position as Magdalene in a later painting. The two sides of Venus (love and lust) show the two options a Renaissance woman had. She could be good and go with love (getting married and doing everything as the church said it should be) or bad (a wanton, wild woman). http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-noli-me-tangere http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2123&context=etd

  3. Madonna and Child with Saints Luke and Catherine of Alexandria by Titian

  4. This picture is an oil painting by Titian at the height of his career (in 1560). He was famous and royals courted him. He held incredible influence over other artists, and is said to have influenced Rembrandt, El Greco, and Van Dyck. The picture depicts a holy conversation between Madonna and child and the saints. It is often referred to as “Titian’s most important work” and is also referred to as “The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine”. http://artdaily.com/news/42173/Sotheby-s-to-Offer-Most-Important-Work-by-Titian-to-Appear-at-Auction-in-Nearly-Twenty-Years#.Ul8mNL-LFCc

  5. The baby Christ is playfully leaning forward, an innocent child, which is a motif that Titian returned to throughout his career.

  6. Eventos de la Vida de Moses by Boticelli

  7. This is a fresco in the Sistine Chapel (the pope’s residence). It depicts different events from Moses' life, which are taken from the Book of Exodus. This is important because even though Secularism was on the rise, the church had most of the power in Renaissance Italy. http://www.italian-renaissance-art.com/Botticelli-in-the-Sistine-Chapel.html

  8. Transfiguration of Christ by Giovanni Bellini

  9. This picture depicts Christ revealing his divine nature to his disciples on Mount Tabor. It shows Bellini’s abandonment of Gothic painting style. It was painted by my ancestor Giovanni Bellini. http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/b/bellini/giovanni/1480-89/100tran.html

  10. Madonna of the Book by Boticelli

  11. This picture shows Mary and baby Christ with a hand on the Book of Hours. The baby is holding three nails and has a crown of thorns as a representation of his future passion. http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/b/botticel/22/2libro.html
