The ''Venus of Urbino'' (Italian: ''Venere di Urbino'') is an oil painting by the Italian master Tiziano Vecellio, known in English as Titian, completed around 1534. This celebrated work of the Renaissance period is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The painting is notable for its sensual portrayal of a nude young woman, traditionally identified as Venus, the Roman goddess of love. However, unlike other mythological portrayals of the time, Titian's Venus is rendered with a striking sense of realism and intimacy, which has led to various interpretations of the subject's identity and the work's meaning.

Measuring 119 cm by 165 cm, the ''Venus of Urbino'' is a prime example of Venetian Renaissance art, showcasing Titian's mastery of color and his ability to convey texture and flesh tones with lifelike precision. The reclining nude figure occupies the foreground, gazing directly at the viewer with an engaging and confident expression. She is positioned against a backdrop of a richly appointed room, with a maidservant rummaging through a cassone (a large storage chest for linens) in the background, adding a narrative element to the scene.

The ''Venus of Urbino'' is often compared to Giorgione's ''Sleeping Venus'', which Titian completed, and it is considered a continuation of the Venetian tradition of depicting the female nude in a domestic setting. The painting's composition, with its careful balance of light and shadow, and the psychological complexity of the figure, has been influential in the history of art, inspiring later artists such as Diego Velázquez and Édouard Manet.

Art historians have extensively debated the symbolism within the ''Venus of Urbino''. The presence of the dog at the woman's feet, for example, is often interpreted as a symbol of fidelity. The placement of her hand has also been a subject of analysis, with some suggesting it represents a protective or even a self-pleasuring gesture, while others argue it is simply a relaxed pose. The painting's eroticism, combined with its domestic setting, has led to interpretations that it may have been intended as a bridal gift, celebrating the themes of love and marriage.

Commissioned by Guidobaldo II della Rovere, the Duke of Urbino, the ''Venus of Urbino'' is not only a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance but also a landmark in the portrayal of the female form, blending mythological themes with a personal and modern sensibility that has resonated through the centuries. Its influence on the genre of the reclining nude and its enduring appeal as a work of profound beauty and complexity make it a central piece in the study of 16th-century Venetian painting.
