Jupiter and Anthiope (Pardo-Venus) 1540-42 Oil on canvas, 196 x 386 cm Musée du Louvre, Paris

The exact meaning of the composition is not known. The representation of the nude woman shows the direct influence of Giorgione's Venus in Dresden. Titian never painted independent landscapes, however, the landscape plays an important role in his paintings when the subject allows it. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening (streaming mp3, 38 minutes):<BR><A HREF="#" onClick="w=window.open ('/music1/mozart/mozart_k_551.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350');w.opener=this;w.focus();return true"><B>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony in C Major (Jupiter-Symphony) K 551</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE>
