Comparison: Venus And Giorgione's Venus

Titian used the high Renaissance artistic style while creating the Venus of Urbino. The painting can be classified with the region style of western art. Titian used one-point linear perspective to give the painting the illusion of three-dimensional space, he also used idealization when creating the Venus.

This portrait was created in 1701 by the famous Rococo artist Hyacinthe Rigaud who was known in his time for being one of the leading portraitists of the European court. The subject of this portrait is Louis XIV whom ruled from 1643 to 1715 and was known to the people as the Sun King. Moving on, we are now viewing L'Indifférent which was created by Jean-Antoine Watteau in 1716. On its right is Jean-Antoine Watteau’s Pilgrimage to Cythera which is set on Cythera,the birthplace of the goddess of Love (Venus), a fantasy island of love and romance. The painting features beautiful pastel colors and a dreamy distant landscape. On the right of Pilgrimage to Cythera is Rosalba Carriera’s Young lady With a parrot. Young Lady with a Parrot was created in 1730 and it features a young woman with a porcelain-like face, cascaded by golden curls, and a full bosom that as y'all can see was revealed by her mischievous parrot. Next is Francois Boucher ’s Are They Thinking about the Grape? from the year 1747. As you can see it features a scene with a love-struck couple surrounded by delicate trees. The contrast between the couple’s rustic origins and their luxurious versions of country dress demonstrates Boucher’s ability to create a world suspended between fantasy and reality. Moving on, this is Francois Boucher’s Venus and Mars Surprised by Vulcan from the year 1754. This painting depicts

On the left side of the painting, Venus is resting her arm on a red cushion, watching her lover sleep. She appears very composed and in control of her body; in contrast to Mars who seems lost in a different world and in a very relaxed pose. She is fully clothed, whereas Mars in naked and only partially covered by a small white cloth. Botticelli portrays Venus as a beautiful, young woman in contemporary clothing. Her dress consists of multiple layers of thin, white fabric which appears sheer in places e.g. her legs. The way in which the bodice draws attention to and accentuates her curves, emphasizes her physical and sexual desirability (Rubin, 2000). Her braids are arranged in a complex hairstyle and are clasped together

Édouard Manet, a French Realism painter, who set the roots for Modernism, painted Olympia with oil on canvas. In Manet’s Olympia we could see a lot of inspiration and influence from Titian’s Venus of Urbino from the Venetian Renaissance period. In the foreground of Olympia, there is a nude woman wearing nothing but a bracelet, necklace, a pair of earrings and slippers. The woman is

The style of the Venus of Willendorf is appropriate for her time period because most early pre-historic art consists of small figurines of nude women with little or no emphasis on facial features, which are exactly the characteristics of the Venus of Willendorf.

Over the years, many art historians have argued over the true intentions of Titian’s Venus of Urbino. Unlike some of Titian’s other paintings, Venus of Urbino does not have

In 1538, the Venus of Urbino was commissioned by the Duke of Urbino Guidobaldo II Della Rovere, to his bride as a wedding gift. Titian referenced his teacher’s work, which is Giorgione’s Sleeping Venus , It described Venus sleeping on the ground, in nature, nude. Her gesture is almost same as Titian’s Venus of Urbino, distinguished by the position of her right arm. Titian used the “Velatura” as known as “glazing” technique, which is a technique of applying multiple layers of transparent thin paint to create the final piece, the charm of this technique is the painting is as smooth as glass and the

The Venus of Willendorf was believed to be created 25,000 years ago, is none-freestanding sculpture and is sculpted out of oolitic limestone. The subject matter I believe it to convey a fertility figure for men and woman to gaze upon. The Venus of Willendorf is a none-freestanding female nude stature, which is an 11 centimeters high, made out of oolitic limestone and now resides in Naturhistorisches Museum. She was found in 1908 in Austria in a village called Willendorf. This small oolitic limestone figure representing a woman in the nude is believed to be created 25,000 years ago. The stature has been carved out of oolitic limestone and has been given a red ochre tint. I believe that Venus of Willendorf was created to represent fertility in

We can also see the use of black shades to create a hole at the bottom part of the rock. With his excellent use of colors, we can identify the good, healthy and green grass from the bad, unhealthy, brown grasses. Looking beyond the main focus of the painting, he uses colors to separate the sky from the land in the background creating a solid form of perspective on the painting. He also uses colors to create water forms as seen behind the young character. Now, for the sky, he uses shades of white to magnificently differentiate the thick clouds from the light ones. He also uses this to create a source to light to the whole area. All these put together creates a splendid, realistic and familiar atmosphere for the viewers to relate with.

In his later career, Titian focused more on religious and mythological works. For Spain's Philip II, he painted "Venus and Adonis" (c. 1554), a piece inspired by Ovid's "Metamorphoses" that shows the goddess Venus trying in vain to hold on to her beloved Adonis. Titian again explored his fascination with the Roman goddess of love in "Venus and the Lute Player"

Principle of design is shown through the artist 's use of various elements in his work of art. In this painting balance, proportion, emphasis, variety, and unity are all exemplified. The balance is not to even but leans more to the left. I believe it leans more to the left because there is more going on in that area than on the right side. Proportion and emphasis is greatly shown through the goddess Venus and her hunter Adonis because they stand out the most. Through the use of the brush, Titian represents them as three dimensional.

Consequently, many of the colors used in Titian’s Venus of Urbino rematerialize in numerous of Titian’s other works, for example the green in the curtain behind the young woman’s head. The green depicted was painted

The Birth of Venus (Nascita di Venere) is a painting done by Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli in 1486. The painting depicts the moment the goddess Venus first emerges from the waters of the sea and prepares to step onto the shore. Through linear techinques and artistic symbolism, the painting not only depicts the story and narrative of the goddess Venus’s birth but also seeks to exhibit the many different types of love and adoration which surround the creation of life.
