Carrying the Cross

This is a copy of a painting by Tiziano (Titian), that I found in the Prado in Madrid. Have you ever been to a museum and you walk the galleries, then all of a sudden one particular painting just grabs you, touches you, moves you. This happened to me with this painting. I went to the gift shop and could not find any reproductions of the painting. Ended up going to a book store and paging through books on Titian until I found the painting.

This was a large canvas and took a while to paint. I donated it to a Spiritual Center in my home town
