‘Although Titian was clearly influenced by the presence in Venice[,] at different periods of his long life[,] of the artists Rosso, Salviati, and Vasari, he could not wholly subscribe to Roman-Florentine Mannerism nor accept the Mannerism of Giulo Romano, which he knew from visits to Mantua, or of Parmigianino, whom he met in Bologna. The ceiling paintings for S. Spiritus in Isola (1542-44[ce]),* now in the sacristy of Sta. Maria della Salute, Venice, are the most fully Mannerist works of his career, yet Mannerism was only another stimulus to his genius. From that style he learned how to increase the dramatic content of his painting, how to intensify the emotional impact, and he acquired a certain sense of irony.**
