"Tityus" is a drawing created by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti around 1533. The work is a fine example of Michelangelo's mastery in capturing the human form and his deep understanding of classical mythology. The drawing depicts the mythological figure Tityus, a giant who was punished for his hubris in Greek mythology. According to the myth, Tityus attempted to violate Leto, the mother of Apollo and Artemis, and as a consequence, was sentenced to eternal torment in Tartarus, where a vulture perpetually fed on his liver, which would regenerate every day.

The artwork is executed in black chalk on paper, a medium that Michelangelo frequently employed for its versatility and ability to render subtle details and textures. Measuring approximately 11.3 x 7.6 inches (28.7 x 19.3 cm), the drawing showcases Michelangelo's skillful use of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow—to create a three-dimensional effect and convey the torment of Tityus's punishment.

Michelangelo's "Tityus" is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its reflection of the artist's personal engagement with themes of suffering and redemption, which recur throughout his oeuvre. The drawing is often interpreted as a visual meditation on the nature of punishment and the human condition, themes that Michelangelo explored in his other works, including the Sistine Chapel ceiling and "The Last Judgment."

The drawing is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, allowing scholars and the public to appreciate Michelangelo's draftsmanship and his contribution to the visual interpretation of classical mythology. As an important work from Michelangelo's later years, "Tityus" continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of Renaissance art and Michelangelo's body of work.
