Titian is one of my favourite painters. I adore the way his paintings feel-- the atmosphere, the tangibility, the quality of his figures and brushstrokes. A really beautiful, idealized human form isn't something I usually associate with Titian, but I am in love with the male nude in this painting. His torso and shoulders, his neck falling back, and the perfectly sensual expression on his face. I also love the connection between the figures, because it seems so...genuine. There's certainly an erotic play here, but there is also something really beautiful and tender in their faces, and the way they're positioned around each other.
