Tityus is a painting by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Tiziano Vecellio, commonly known as Titian. Created around 1548-1549, this work is part of a series of mythological paintings commissioned by Philip II of Spain, known as the "poesie" series. The painting depicts the mythological figure Tityus, a giant from Greek mythology who was punished by Zeus for attempting to violate Leto, the mother of Apollo and Artemis. As a result of his transgression, Tityus was condemned to eternal torment in the underworld, where he was bound and had his liver perpetually eaten by vultures.

Titian's portrayal of Tityus is both dramatic and poignant, capturing the agony and despair of the giant's eternal punishment. The composition is marked by its dynamic use of space and movement, with Tityus's massive, muscular form dominating the canvas. The artist's masterful use of color and light enhances the emotional intensity of the scene, with stark contrasts between the dark, foreboding background and the illuminated figure of Tityus. The painting exemplifies Titian's ability to convey complex human emotions and his skill in rendering the human form with anatomical precision.

Tityus is notable not only for its artistic merits but also for its place within the broader context of Titian's oeuvre and the Renaissance fascination with classical mythology. The painting reflects the period's interest in humanism and the exploration of ancient myths as allegories for contemporary themes. As part of the "poesie" series, Tityus was intended to be a visual counterpart to the poetic works of classical antiquity, blending narrative and visual art to create a rich, multi-layered experience.

Today, Tityus is held in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and admiration. The painting remains a testament to Titian's enduring legacy as one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, showcasing his unparalleled ability to merge mythological storytelling with profound emotional depth.
