Which Italian artist influenced Reynolds's work?
Michelangelo
Leonardo da Vinci
Raphael
Titian
Answer
Reynolds was influenced by Titian, whose work he saw in Italy during his travels there in 1750-1752. He was particularly interested in Titian's use of color and his ability to create a sense of movement and drama in his paintings. Reynolds's own work often shows a similar use of color and movement, and he also adopted some of Titian's compositional techniques.
