Beast as Titian's Danae

Class assignment, Old Master Nursery Rhyme, turn a piece by an old master into a nursery rhyme or fairy tale.

For mine, I used Titian's Danae ([link]), reinterpreting the scene as the end of Beauty & the Beast, where the Beast lays dying, with Beauty mourning.

At first I was going to make up a beast, in the same vein of conglomeration as Disney's, then I just said screw it, and did Disney's anyway, though with a few differences. This is more the traditional story, with the beast 'ravaging himself in his misery at her absence'.
