Titian's six "poesie" – or "painted poems" – depict subjects from classical mythology and were painted for King Philip II of Spain. The paintings represent a landmark in the history of western art and exemplify the Venetian master's late style that was characterized by dramatic subjects, sensual forms, and loose, almost "impressionistic" brushwork.
