Titian - Tiziano Vecelli - Oil

Venus and Adonis is a painting by the Italian late Renaissance artist Titian, executed around 1553. It is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. It is one of the numerous version of the same subject from the Italian painter. The painting was commissioned by King Philip II of Spain. Titian executed it in Venice, where it had returned in 1548. The painting's subject is taken from Ovid, though with modifications (Adonis leaves Venus, and not vice versa). It portrays a young Adonis, at dawn, with his dogs, leaving Venus, who desperately tries to keep him with her. The scene symbolizes the force of the hunt call, in turn a metaphor of life and of worldly affairs, which is stronger than that of love (embodied by Eros, sleeping under trees on the left). Differently from the later version in Rome, the background features a shining sun emerging from the clouds, in an only partially overcast sky.
