Description   

This scene from an ancient myth shows the goddess Venus attempting to restrain her lover, Adonis, as he sets off to hunt. Ignoring Venus's pleas, Adonis insists upon going, only to be killed by a wild boar. The contrasting poses of the figures, profundity of their expressions, richness of color, and exquisite brushwork are hallmarks of Titian's influential style.
