Description of Titian Vechellio’s painting The Posing of the Coffin
The painting "The Position in the Coffin" was painted by Titian in 1559. The painting measures 148 by 205 cm and was painted on canvas and oil.
At the time of the painting Titian had a great interest in the themes of complex, dramatic, which was largely caused by the events taking place at that time in Venice. The struggle in reality is reflected in his painting, the artist’s paintings are full of tension and sorrow.
The painting depicts 6 figures, the central figure, as it is not difficult to guess - Jesus Christ. Titian depicts him not as skinny, as is more common, but as a muscular man, which gives a sense of strength and ability to fight. Christ appears as a warrior rather than a victim, the victor of a dangerous battle rather than a fragile religious sufferer.
The human figures occupy virtually the entire surface of the canvas, the background is not clearly painted, and a considerable space is also allotted to the coffin, on which, incidentally, the artist places his own signature. The painting is quite vivid. There are several large spots of saturated colors: red, yellow, blue. Christ is traditionally portrayed in white, representing purity and light.
Although, according to the biblical story, Jesus is placed in the coffin in full confidence that he is already dead, the picture does not express grief. Lots of white helps keep the viewers hoping for the best, for a miracle, for a resurrection. The characters in the painting look at Christ with hope, grasping his hands, as if unwilling to let him go to the other world.
The background is not sufficiently detailed, but we can see both the thick clouds and the light breaking through them. Titian skillfully combines the moods of the characters and the moods of nature, this connection is evident. We understand that not only the figures of the characters and their emotions are subject to movement, but that the changing nature is also subject to the same movement.
