In this study Marie Tanner examines the ways in which Titian incorporates new concepts
of sensuality and spirituality in the mythological paintings of King Philip II of
Spain, whose originality and ravishing beauty belie their actual their didactic content.
Titian's mythological paintings for Philip II, known as the Poesie, are among the
most frequently discussed works of art that address a favored Renaissance theme, the
influence of the pagan gods on human actions. The commission is traceable to 1549,
when Emperor Charles V summoned the artist to Augsburg following Prince Philip's triumphal
parade through the empire as his father's heir apparent. The author proposes that
Philip's expected elevation prompted the commission and that the subjects form a cohesive
program of Hapsburg ethical views and political concerns, and that Titian created
new visual idioms to represent the complex issues which the subjects address in part
by engaging themes with a significant prior history in family patronage. While Titian's
Poesie for Philip II are well known monuments of western culture, they have never
before been investigated with this focus
