He excelled in large canvases filled with gorgeous men and women, dressed out in silks, satins, and brocades and ar- mour, bearing banners, fruit, jewels, and all the scenic properties of a great painter of high life in the richest and most voluptuous centre of costly living, — Venice in the Renaissance. In some of his work, particularly in representing men, he resembles Rubens ; he portrays animal force in brawny and lusty bodies; his women have often too little of the intellectual element in ...their beauty, and are simply pleasing pieces of anatomy to ex- hibit the fair garments with which this skilful painter loved to clothe them. All the people are 130 XTbe -foall of Supiter 131 large, with monumental decorative proportions ; but it is the spectacular rather than the thoughtful or poetic in which he indulges. He was exactly the sort of painter to please a nation of rich merchants. His religious pictures are usually set in essentially Venetian scenes; he is more at home when he has to show forth a group of worldly women tricked out in their best finery than he is when trying to interpret Scriptural stories.
