Talk:Pietà (Titian)

A fact from Pietà (Titian) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 September 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Titian intended his painting of the Pietà to hang over his grave, but it never did?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2017/September. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pietà (Titian).

"represented as if he saw his also upcoming death in the Christ's face"[edit]

It seems to me that Nicodemus (Titian) is looking at Mary rather than at Christ. This struck me as particularly poignant when I saw the painting recently in L'Accademia. Check the eyelines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boygobbo (talk • contribs) 19:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
