Visual Analysis
The picture of “The Bacchanal of the Andrians” depicts the small island of Andros in the Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea, the residents indulge in carnival, drink and enjoy music, talk love and dance to celebrate the Bacchanal. The residents of the carnival in the picture are of different shapes: the two lying women on the front whispers, one is ridiculously mysterious and the other is wide-eyed, while holding up the glass in her hands and catching wine poured by a naked person for her; next to them, there is a toddler child, drunkenly lowering his head and staggering; a white woman behind them, her hair is flying, and her face is red, each of her hands are involved in a man, she is with drunk eyes, blurred, whispered, her thighs in flying skirts make her increasingly charming; on the hillside in the distance, a gray-haired old man is lying and naked in the sun, stretching out legs, at ease.
The most noteworthy one should be the woman who is supine on the bottom right of the screen. A beautiful, naked, beautiful woman with her head tilted backwards, her arms are hanging behind her back, her head and legs stretch. This woman's modality and charm resemble the image of Goddess in Giorgione's Sleeping Venus. Reclining woman body is not only the need for composition of the picture, but also the inheritance and development of Giorgione's female body painting style. For later generations of painters, it established a model for this position.
The blue sky and white clouds in the background of the screen have extended the entire sky to a vast and far-reaching extent, which has increased the level of the picture and enhanced the depth of the entire picture. In the depiction of the landscape, Titian used a rich contrast of cool and warm tones to show poetic and imaginative qualities. In picture of “The Bacchanal of the Andrians”, Titian uses bold colors, rich colors and brilliant colors. Such an expressive hue rhythm reflects the passion and lively atmosphere of the carnival crowd.
The figures in the painting are fierce and muscular, and the more rigorous composition reflects the influence of classicism, but it does not completely use it as the essence of painting. Titian showed bodybuilding and vitality to viewers, instead of simply praised religion, here it represented the embodiment of human freedom. In other words, “The Bacchanal of the Andrians” can be said to be a naked pagan painting. The carnival figures in the painting surpass the standard of daily life. The author pushed the spirit of a rebellious spirit to the top.
In addition to Giorgione, Raphael has a major impact on the characteristics of Titian's creation (Hale, 2012). In “The Bacchanal of the Andrians”, in addition to Giorgione's luxurious and beautiful charm, Raphael's beautiful, mellow and soft style is also vague. Titian's early works were deeply influenced by Raphael. His paintings of flower god used noble and dignified posture, graceful elegance, inherited the delicate and feminine features of Raphael. In the painting of “The Bacchanal of the Andrians”, although Titian's passionate and personal features are more displayed, viewers can still see the artist's tribute to Raphael in the handling and control of specific details. The most obvious is the artist's handling of the reclining woman's body at the foot of the frame. The relaxed Roman-style underwear of the woman is open and reveals a plump chest. The golden hair is scattered behind the rounded shoulders, giving the body a youthful dynamism, which is full of elegance.
Meaning and Purpose
Roughly in the 1520s-1540s, it was often considered to be the most typical stage of Titian’s art (Marion, 2007). Titian improved his artistic style during this period. During this period, the people he created were cheerful, joyful and peaceful. The image was healthy and beautiful. Its composition was novel, and the colors were beautiful and strong. Titian’s works of this period have hedonic tendencies, but this is not the mainstream and nature of his art. The mainstream of Titian’s art lies in praising people's spirit and human inner beauty. Titian showed the feminine beauty of the naked beauty in “The Bacchanal of the Andrians”. His work continues Italians' concept of expressing love with good use of sex (Theodore, 1955). This is not to say that their understanding of love is superficial. On the contrary, their creation emphasizes the spiritual nature of love. Any description of sex is only an externalized form. As a work with a distinctive painting style and a certain degree of creative difficulty, “The Bacchanal of the Andrians” can be regarded as a good painting.
Personal Respond
Titian’s artistic achievements made him a master of the Venetian painting school. I recognized the humanism and realism reflected in Titian’s paintings, as well as his own unique painting techniques and styles. He had a great influence on the continued development of the Renaissance movement. Titian paid more attention to the use of colors. Of course, this was his biggest feature. However, Titian did not pay much attention to the use of sketch and lines in his paintings. Therefore, there are certain deficiencies in certain aspects of his painting, such as the symmetrical, balanced and harmonious of composition, according to certain standard, but this does not affect him as one of the most outstanding painters in history.
