"St. Jerome in the Desert. 1 In the Brera Gallery, Milan. TWO WAYS OF PAINTING everything else on his canvas as to in- tensify its action and expression. The gaze of the saint is fixed upon a crucifix high on the right of the picture, and the book behind him, the lines of the rocks, the masses of the foliage, even the gen- eral formation of the ground, are so disposed as to echo and reinforce the great diagonal. There is a splendid energy of invention in the drawing of the tree stems, but the e...ffect is clear and simple with nothing of Sargent's dazzle and con- fusion. As for the Hon, he is a mere neces- sary mark of identification, and Titian has taken no interest in him. Now, it is evident that there is not nearly so much literal truth to the ap- pearance of nature in this picture as in Sargent's. It is not only that it would never have occurred to Titian to try to paint the glittering spottiness of sun- light splashing through leafage, or to at- tempt to raise his key of light to some- [143] ARTIST AND PUBLIC thing like that of nature, at the cost of fulness of color.
