Titian's Venus of Urbino once graced the bedroom of a Renaissance cardinal. The Della Rovere patron who ordered this commission anxiously awaited its completion, describing in correspondence Titian's Venus of Urbino not as Venus, but simply as a nude woman. The woman appears to be a courtesan, staring boldly at the viewer, unconcerned with her nudity. Frederick Hartt describes Titian's Venus of Urbino painting as being the "closest he [Titian] ever came to Central Italian Mannerism" with his use of ornamentalism, concern with flat areas, textures, patterns, and subdued colors.
