''The Death of Actaeon'' is a late work by the Venetian master Tiziano Vecellio, known as Titian, believed to have been painted around 1562. This oil on canvas masterpiece is part of a series of mythological paintings, often referred to as "poesie," that Titian created for Philip II of Spain. The series was inspired by the Roman poet Ovid's ''Metamorphoses'' and includes other notable works such as ''Diana and Actaeon'' and ''Diana and Callisto''.

The painting depicts the tragic conclusion of the myth of Actaeon, a young hunter who accidentally stumbled upon the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek mythology) as she bathed with her nymphs. In retribution for seeing her unclothed, Diana transformed Actaeon into a stag, and he was subsequently torn apart by his own hounds, who failed to recognize their master. In Titian's rendition, the moment is captured with dramatic intensity, as Actaeon is shown with antlers sprouting from his head, desperately attempting to fend off the ferocious attack of his dogs.

Measuring 178.4 cm × 198.1 cm, ''The Death of Actaeon'' is noted for its dynamic composition and the emotional power of its subject. The painting's rich color palette and the fluidity of Titian's brushwork contribute to the sense of movement and chaos in the scene. Unlike the other paintings in the series, ''The Death of Actaeon'' was never delivered to Philip II, and it remained in Titian's studio until his death. The reasons for this are unclear, but it has been speculated that the artist may have been unsatisfied with the work or that its dark subject matter made it less appealing to the patron.

Today, ''The Death of Actaeon'' is held in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. As a late work of Titian, it reflects the artist's continued innovation and influence on the development of Western art, particularly in the use of dramatic narrative and expressive brushwork that would resonate with the Baroque artists of the following century.
