Titian
(1488/90 - 1576) 

Tiziano Vecelli or Vecellio ( Latinized as Titianus, hence known in English as Titian), was an Italian (Venetian) Renaissance painter of Lombard origin, considered the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, 'from Cadore', taken from his native region.

Perseus and Andromeda was one of a series of six large-scale mythological paintings commissioned from Titian by King Philip II of Spain, that were each to represent a scene from The Metamorphoses, an immensely popular epic poem by the Roman poet Ovid. Philip II did not however prescribe which subjects should be chosen, leaving the choice to Titian. The commission was a milestone in Titian’s career, and he was conscious that he was creating something unprecedented. He referred to the paintings as his Poesie, or poetry, because he wanted them to be the visual equivalent of poetry.
