Foreground Planet: Occultation Of Regulus By Venus

Venus of Urbino demonstrates a beautiful, young woman, Venus, lying nude on what appears to be a reclined couch or bed. However, the woman illustrated means much more than merely a nude woman. There have been many interpretations of this beautiful woman over the years but many art historians agree that the Venus of Urbino has to do unambiguously with the male sexual desire for the female nude body.

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

In December of 1978, an orbiter entered Venus’ orbit. This orbiter was called “The Pioneer Venus Orbiter” one of the two spacecraft which launched Venus to collect data. Along with the orbiter, the “Pioneer Venus Multiprobe” was also sent to Venus where used it had four different probes to collect data through the surface, yet only one probe made it and transmitted the data back. The objective of this project was to create a map of Venus’ surface.

For my vacation, my family has chosen to go to Venus. This our first year traveling outside of earth so we chose a planet close. Venus is covered with a thick layer of sulfuric acid which will be a blast to land into but on the inside Venus is solid. Venus shines super bright and has orangish yellow tint. The overall look of Venus is dreary and the gas covers the area with a goldish hue and everything looks like gunmetal. Venus is VERY hot, it temperature reaches to about 870 degrees Fahrenheit! On top of the scorching heat the Atmospheric pressure is bone crushing and highly dense.Venus is about 0.72 light years away from the Sun and blank light years from Earth. Venus is very much like earth and not very much like earth. Venus is about the same size as earth

During the Upper Paleolithic era artists created a wide range of small sculptures. These sculptures were made from various materials, including ivory, bone, clay, and even stone. They represented humans, as well as animals; they even combined them at times. Most of the sculptures from this time show a high level of skill. From this time, there were two very influential sculptures, The Venus of Willendorf and the Venus of Laussel. This paper will discuss both sculptures, in detail, as well as, compare and contrast them.

Sandro Botticelli’s Venus and Mars is a tempera and oil painting on poplar panel, illustrating a scene from the classical mythology story of Venus and Mars, who are engaging in a love affair with each other. The painting was made during the Renaissance, around 1485. It’s dimensions are 69.2 × 173.4 cm and it is currently located at The National Gallery in London, room 58 (Nationalgallery.org.uk, n.d.)

parent due to sexual desire over the opposite-gendered parent (incestuous desire). My interpretation of this is that Venus was a boy (shown by masculine head) who was trapped in incestuous sexual desire (covered eyes) who masturbated to the image of his mother (enlarged hand), so his father claimed his castrated penis (penis is the color of the man).

This piece of art was an allusion of King Louis XV's mistress Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson later renamed Madame de Pompadour. After starring in a role of the play La Toilette de Venus on the stage of Versailles, Madame de Pompadour inspired the reason for this painting by Francois Boucher (1703-1770). Most of Boucher's pieces are deemed as Rococo, or "late Baroque" which was a slight start to a transitional period in the first quarter of the 18th century. The text, Book 4: The Humanistic Tradition, only includes the Rococo style after the Enlightenment and not the transition from its predecessor. However, this art piece has characteristics of Baroque art: Caravaggio's foreshortening, use of chiaroscuro, and the use of trompe l'oeil.

Manet broke social norms as well as, formal rules, composition rules, and rules of subject. Seeing a modern woman whom has intentionally discarded her clothes was absurd in this era. Manet made the woman vivid and flat to gravitate attention towards her as much as possible. He also broke rules of naturalism, by the disjunction and collapsing of space as stated in the video. Manet is intentionally playing with art and making a statement, by not applying the basic rules such as colors meshing, space between figures…etc. He borrowed his composition from a print by Raffaello Sanzio, a painter and architect of the High Renaissance. Manet took the concept of landscape, and subject matter of clothed men and nude women from Giorgio Castelfranco, a

The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli is a Renaissance painting that depicts Venus being born out of sea foam onto a sea shell and other gods and goddesses are bringing her clothing. We can see that this is a Renaissance painting because it is realistic. It is realistic because there is light, depth, perspective, expression throughout the piece. Light is shown through the sun. Depth is also shown through shadows on Venus’s face, shadows on the other people’s faces, and shadows in the background. There are shadows on the shell, the sky, the sea, the ground, and the trees. Perspective is shown because of how Venus is front and center in the painting and how the other gods and goddesses around her and how there are things in the background

Throughout art, a nude woman has aroused different kinds of emotions. A prime example is Sandro Botticelli’s, Birth of Venus. With this artwork, Botticelli went against the social norms of who to depict as nude figures, and the content behind it. Nude figures were only reserved to male angels, which was typical for the time period since art was still religious stories and figures. Nudes and the content of an art weren’t not for a female pagan goddess. Sandro Botticelli painted the artwork with tempera, which is a fast-drying paint that was used to paint on the wall, when it was still being made. These types of artworks were referred to as frescos. The artwork demonstrates how Venus, the Roman goddess of sex, beauty, and femininity, was being pushed to shore, moments after her birth. Botticelli, along with Donatello, started the ideology of Neoplatonism, which combined Biblical stories with paganism beliefs. The Birth of Venus was successful in provoking the sexual appeal of the audience, and creating a controversy by depicting Venus as a nude, while referencing to Mary, the mother of Jesus.

The center part inside the painting, The Birth of Venus show there was a young lady who was the goddess of love – Venus. She was standing above a big shell. Obviously, the Venus was a young lady and she was about 16-20 years old. Venus doesn’t has any cloth on her body, she was naked.
