An essay by Edward Lucie-Smith examines the impressive collection of Titian's key paintings on display at the National Gallery London, highlighting the significance of the "poesie" series inspired by Ovid and commissioned by Philip II of Spain. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to view these works together, possibly for the first time in centuries, showcasing Titian’s enduring importance in Western art.
