Venus and Adonis is a famous and twisted love story between a goddess and the most beautiful mortal on earth. It is part of the Greek mythological culture that is not only known to have been the basis of the existence of most people in ancient history, but has continued to be a phenomenon for those who love the myths and stories of these ancient characters. Although this religion and belief system has almost vanished into thin air, there are still many people who study his stories and works of art to fully understand what the artist was trying to portray through these characters and their works of art. Artists throughout history have used these mythological beings or characters as a way to tell a story, convey a message of their current society, and carry on the beautiful religion of old. One of the works of art that has been continuously evaluated is Titian's heartbreaking painting “Venus and Adonis” based on the mythological story of Venus and Adonis in Ovid's Metamorphoses. This painting was created during the Renaissance era, one of the most influential periods in history as it contributed to the advancement of intellectual thought not only in science and politics, but also in art. The existence of “Venus and Adonis” on the walls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is important for the wonderful talent and composition of Titian's work which conveys “an allegory of the dangers of life guided by fate rather than reason” (Gentili 1980), and also due to the strong influence of his time. Titian's "Venus and Adonis" was a fantastic window into the art and views of the Renaissance era. It shows the growing interest in Greek mythology, but also a growing interest in art education using proportions and linear lines... in the center of the card, using the use of light and shadow with expression. This composition is completely different, however Cupid is still present as well as the dog, playing together in a moment of happiness. Venus and Adonis are madly in love and hug instead of leaving each other as Venus is on a blue cloth, Adonis is on a red cloth again. They are centered in the center of the painting again creating a triangular shape of the two figures, as their legs are spread apart at the bottom left and right of the painting with their heads meeting at the top of the point. Again the painting is balanced, although asymmetrical in that most of the characters and actions are on the left side of the painting. Another contrast with Titian's "Venus and Adonis" is that they show Venus from the front rather than the back, which is more common to have Venus facing forward.
