"The Giant Tityus Having His Liver Eaten By A Vulture" is a drawing by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, created circa 1532. This work is a pen and brown ink representation on paper, showcasing Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and his ability to convey dramatic intensity through his art. The drawing illustrates the mythological punishment of Tityus, a giant from Greek mythology who was condemned to eternal torment in Tartarus for assaulting Leto, the mother of Apollo and Artemis.

In the myth, Tityus is punished by having an eagle or a vulture perpetually eat his liver, which regenerates every night, only to be consumed again the next day. Michelangelo's depiction of this scene is a powerful example of his engagement with classical themes and his interest in the human body under extreme duress. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition, the detailed rendering of Tityus's muscular form, and the visceral interaction between the giant and the bird of prey.

The drawing is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its reflection of Michelangelo's personal and artistic concerns during the period of its creation. It is often interpreted as a symbol of the artist's own psychological and creative struggles, with the relentless bird serving as a metaphor for the inescapable nature of his artistic calling or the torments of his personal life.

"The Giant Tityus Having His Liver Eaten By A Vulture" is held in high esteem among Michelangelo's drawings and is frequently studied for its technical skill and emotional depth. It remains an important work within the oeuvre of Michelangelo's drawings and contributes to the understanding of the artist's profound impact on the art of drawing and the broader Renaissance art movement. The drawing is part of the collection of the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom and is occasionally displayed in exhibitions that explore the works of Michelangelo and the art of the Italian Renaissance.
