Titianus Redivivus

Britische Grafik 1796–1803, 1797

The artwork is a satirical print with a complex composition. It features a large, dark rectangular slab at the center, adorned with a bearded figure surrounded by a glowing aura. Above, an eagle is depicted amidst radiant clouds. To the right, two cherubic figures with wings and trumpets hover. A rainbow arches across the scene, with various figures, including a winged creature resembling a griffin, interacting with it. Below, a group of men, each holding a palette and brush, sit in a line. The foreground includes a man emerging from a hole and another figure positioned next to a statue. The scene is filled with intricate details, such as scrolls, books, and celestial elements, all rendered in a detailed and vibrant color palette.
