-For [[Philip II]] [[Titian]] painted a series of large [[mythological painting]]s known as the "[[poesie]]", mostly from [[Ovid]], which are regarded as among his greatest works Thanks to the prudishness of Philip's successors, these were later mostly given as gifts and only two remain in the Prado.  Titian was producing religious works for Philip at the same time.  The "poesie" series began with ''[[Venus and Adonis]]'', of which the original is in the Prado, but several versions exist, and ''[[Danaë]]'', both sent to Philip in 1553. ''[[Diana and Actaeon (Titian)|Diana and Actaeon]]'' and ''[[Diana and Callisto]]'', were despatched in 1559, then ''Perseus and Andromeda'' ([[Wallace Collection]], now damaged) and the ''Rape of Europa'' (Boston, [[Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum]]), delivered in 1562.  ''[[The Death of Actaeon]]'' was begun in 1559 but worked on for many years, and never completed or delivered.   Another painting that apparently remained in his studio at his death, and has been much less well known until recent decades, is the powerful, even "repellant", ''Flaying of [[Marsyas]]'' ([[Kroměříž]], [[Czech Republic]]) Another violent masterpiece is the ''[[Tarquin]] and [[Lucretia]]'' in the [[Fitzwilliam Museum]], [[Cambridge]].
