- Titian - oil on canvas (118 x 279 cm) 1514 - Galería Borghese (Roma) |
It perhaps depicts the bride dressed in white, sitting beside Cupid and being assisted by Venus in person.
The painting is presumed to have been commissioned by Niccolò Aurelio, a secretary to the Venetian Council of Ten (with his coat of arms appears on the sarcophagus or fountain in the centre of the image) to celebrate his marriage to Laura Bagarotto.

It comprises at least six oil-on-canvas paintings by Titian, completed between 1540 and 1570. The works are based on the mythological princess Danaë:
According to Roman poet Ovid, she was isolated in a bronze dungeon following a prophecy that her firstborn would eventually kill her father. Although aware of the consequences, Danaë was seduced and became pregnant by Zeus (in Roman mythology Jupiter), who, inflamed by lust, descended from Mount Olympus to entice her as a shower of gold.

Titian Paintings:
Venetian School (Art)
From the later part of the 15th century, Venice had a distinctive, thriving and influential art scene.Beginning with Giorgione (c. 1477–1510) and Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430–1516), major artists of the Venetian school included Titian (1489–1576), Tintoretto (1518–1594), Veronese (1528–1588) and the Bassano (1510–1592).
Considered to bring a primacy of color over line, this tradition was seen to contrast with the Mannerism then prevalent in the rest of Italy.
The Venetian style is viewed as having had a great influence on the subsequent development of painting.
