This is one of the earliest works by Titian in the National Gallery’s collection. Its high-key colours and the way the figures are set in a natural landscape echo the style of Giorgione, with whom Titian trained. The lines of the tree and the hillside draw attention to the look between the figures. Titian has suggested Christ’s gauzy loincloth and Mary Magdalene’s scarf with dragged brushstrokes of lead white that catch the texture of the painting’s canvas.
