The Punishment of Marsyas is a painting by the Italian late Renaissance artist Titian executed around 1570-1576. It is currently housed in National Museum in Kroměříž in the Czech Republic. The painting is part of a series of canvasses with mythological themes which Titian executed in his late years. It portrays the flaying of Marsyas a silenus who dared to defy the God Apollo. The choice of such a crude scene was perhaps inspired to the death of Marcantonio Bragadin a Venetian commander who was flayed by the Ottomans in that period. Midas the thoughtful character on the right is likely the artist s self-portrait.
