Allan,
My copy measured 73 x 60cm and is oil on linen (sorry for not mentioning this earlier). The original measures, according to the data from the museum, 81,8 x 65,8cm. so the reduction was not too drastic.

I found some similarities between Titian and El Greco, doubtless the influence of the venetian can be seen in the work of El Greco but still, the latter's work differs in compositional concepts as well as in colour. He was more of a "disciple" rather than a "student" of Titian.

Oh no, Linda...then that means it has failed as a copy, huh?

Thank you both for viewing
