There be also many wicked men that have the comeliness of a beautiful countenance, and it seemeth that nature hath so shaped them because they may be the readier to deceive, and that this amiable look were like a bait that covereth the hook.

About This Quote

Titian is a master of the Venetian painting and sculpture tradition, and was one of the most important artists in the history of Western art. Titian used his experience as a painter to explore many themes and subjects during his long career, such as the nature of beauty, love, and passion. Titian was especially known for his realistic portrayal of women, which is evident in this quote. Titian’s paintings show that beauty can be found not only on the outside but also on the inside.

He portrayed women as strong and independent figures who could defy their physical appearance to achieve great things. Titian’s paintings were highly influential on subsequent generations of artists and helped shape modern attitudes about beauty and grace.
