Note 3 — Chapter XVIII
Reading edition
It is this quality of unarrested movement, so conspicuous above all in the figure of Bacchus, which attracts us irresistibly in the Huntress, in Lord Brownlow’s “Diana and Actaeon.” The construction of the form of the goddess in this beautiful but little-known picture is admirable. Worn as the colour is, appearing almost as a monochrome, the landscape is full of atmospheric suggestion. It is in Titian’s latest manner, and its ample lines and free unimpeded motion can be due to no inferior brush.
