Myths are stories that explain why the world is the way it is. All cultures have them. Throughout history, artists have been inspired by myths and legends and have given them visual form. Sometimes these works of art are the only surviving record of what particular cultures believed and valued. But even where written records or oral traditions exist, art adds to our understanding of myths and legends.
Here in this list are some of the many artists who used mythological themes in art: Lucas Cranach the Elder, Rembrandt, Titian, Tintoretto, Picasso with his Neoclassical Period
