198 THE WORKS OF
As Titian has remained so excellent in this
part; one might conclude, that hehad much of
the Ideal. With regard to invention he was ve-
ry simple, and in general he thought not of it
more than was absolutely necessary, and os
course added nothing to it of the Ideal.
CHA P. VI.
OF THE COMPOSITION OF TITIAN.
His sirst Compositions were symmetrical, ac-
cording to.the manner of this time. His second
style was a little more eafy, but without any
particular rule. In his last it appears that he
scarce thought of what he composed, although
by chance one here finds some expression.
Many times he placed portraits in his paintings,
and his compositions remained the more cold.
If he composed any thing well, it was so rare as
not to give him an habitual merit. Finally in
this part he did no more than follow simple na-
ture without observing the expression os the art.
