Titian gave an energizing push to the Venetian School.

Consider the brushstrokes, the subjects, the sense of movement, the facial expressions, and more.

Compare and contrast Da Vinci’s Last Supper, Veronese’s Feast in the House of Levi, and Tintoretto’s Last Supper. Look at the composition and at the arrangement of the various elements. Think about the message delivered by the artist and consider the relevant historical, social, and religious changes that elapsed between Leonardo’s work and the other two.
