Tiziano omoerotico: David and Goliath, Tarquin and Lucretia, and Il Bravo

Speranza

By studying Titian’s

paintings of

David and Goliath, Tarquin and Lucretia and Il Bravo, three images that

explore the merits of the feminized male, our research outlines how Titian’s art depicts a

radically different expression of idealized masculinity, one that can be interpreted as

repudiating previous models of masculinity that were experienced as violent and

oppressive, in favour of a more natural representation.
