Hector, I agree that Venus of Urbino is a beautiful High Renessaince art painting. I think Titian's commitment to rendering the woman body accurately, yet elegantly is a sure sign of High Renessaince art in Italy. All great artists of this era were devoted to intelligently constructing their works of art, characteristics like detailed proportion and perspective can be seen throughout High Renessaince art. We see this in Venus of Urbino as much as we see it in pieces like the Mona Lisa. Both Venus and Mona Lisa were created by their respective artists with precise and accurate proportioning of the human body– no arm, leg or curve seems out of place or unnatural.

Additionally in both Venus of Urbino and the Mona Lisa, we see the expert use

    This painting, La Primavera by Botticelli, depicts many mythological figures. The feature of the painting is Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, with Cupid floating above her head. On the far left is Mercury, another Roman god. There are a few other people who can also be found in Roman mythology. While it depicts Roman mythology, this painting was created between 1477 and 1482, during the Renaissance (Ufizzi Gallery Museum: La Primavera). The humanism movement during the Renaissance brought about the creation of many paintings of Roman and Greek ideas. Humanism in the Renaissance, as described by Strayer, was the preservation of Greek and Roman education and culture. The people of the Renaissance revived the might and classicism that

  • Titian’s Venus with a Mirror

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many different artists from the renaissance period that we consider the forefathers of modern paint or modern art in general. Among the greats like Leonardo or Picasso, there is a man by the name of Tiziano Vecellio also known as Titian. I hadn’t heard of Titian before the trip to the National Galleries in DC, but I felt an immediate connection to his work. Because of this I have chosen to write about his painting Venus with a mirror . Venus with a mirror was painted in 1555. It is a fairly large oil painting (49 x 41 9/16 in.), although digital images do not do it justice.

  • Venus Of Hohle Fels Research Paper

    392 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Venus of Hohle Fels, was discovered by an archaeologist, Nicholas J. Conrad, in September 2008 in the Hohle Fels Cave near Schelklingen, Germany. The figurine was found in the cave hall, about 20m from the entrance and about 3m below the ground level. Venus of Hohle Fels was a mammoth ivory, which was broken up into fragments and still missing its left arm and its shoulders. There were other goddess discovered, such as the Goddess of Willendorf (25,000 BCE.), Venus of Dolni Vestonice (25,000 BCE.), and more, but they aren’t as old as the Venus of Hohle Fels. These figurines were mostly likely made as a talisman for men while they were out hunting away from home, or perhaps it was made to display fertility, which showed a huge breast to

  • The Birth of Venus

    852 Words  | 2 Pages

    Venus in Botticelli's painting is a Renaissance beauty. During the Renaissance women were believed to look more attractive if they had some weight to them. It was believed that this weight make them more prepared for child birth, and basically healthier. Venus has weight in the painting. Without this weight I do not feel that she would have such a strong impact on her viewers. Another strong point of Venus's presence is her wonderful long and flowing red-orange hair. It flows around her body keeping her pose modest, yet revealing. In all of this beauty it can be easy to overlook the unnatural length of Venus's neck, and the steep fall of her shoulders. Venus's outline is wonderfully graceful, and it is the grace that makes the print so wholesome and beautiful. If Botticelli would have chosen a slimmer or less natural Venus the harmony of the picture would have been destroyed.

  • Analysis Of Venus In Furs By Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch

    413 Words  | 1 Pages

    The term Masochism derives from a proper name of a nineteenth century Austrian writer, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Many of Sacher-Masoch's works contain themes of sadomasochism and female dominance of the male. In his more or less famous autobiographical novel Venus in Furs (Venus im pelz,1870) the protagonist desires to be enslaved and mistreated. A year earlier , in 1869 , Masoch and his mistress Baroness Fanny Pistor signed a contract making him her slave for half a year, with the remarkable stipulation that the Baroness wear furs as often as possible, "especially when she was in a cruel mood".Details of Masoch's private life were published in memoirs of his first wife Aurora von Rümelin (My Life Confession Mein Lebensbeichte, 1906)whom he married to live out the experience of the novel .But the prefences of Aurora did not match those of him, and Masoch ,

  • Venus With A Mirror

    Titan does a fantastic job is composing both Venus portraits, however, the differences in composition are subtle. Venus with a Mirror has a slightly different composition when comparing it to Venus of Urbino. The woman the center if the oil painting, looks to be either sitting up on a lounge chair, or she could possibly be standing and nude from the waist up, while the Urbino Venus is resting across the lounge chair showing off the entirety of her body. The Mirror Venus has not window or any hit that there is a window inside the room, however, Urbino Venus has a small window with a gorgeous view of the sky. The two Venus’s both have individuals on the right side of the painting, but the two individuals are completely different. Mirror Venus has two cherubs aiding her in getting ready. The division of space is extremally different between the paintings, while the mirror Venus is only divided in one spot horizontally, Urbino Venus has three different divisions. There is a curtain which divides the top half of the room in two, then the lounge chair start the division of the top from the bottom. Thus, this unique composition causes the audience to examine all three of the spaces thoroughly and carefully. If a viewer is overwelled by the work then they simply will walk away. Titian

  • Michelangelo's Motivation

    1901 Words  | 4 Pages

    The masculine and idealized form of the human body is an ever-present characteristic of Michelangelo’s sculpture. Many people over the years have speculated why this may be, but there has never been a definitive answer, and probably never will be. Through all of his sculpture there is a distinct classical influence, with both his subject matter and his inclination to artistically create something beautiful. In most cases, for Michelangelo, this means the idealized human figure, seeping with contraposto. This revival of classical influences is common for a Renaissance artisan, but the new, exaggerated form of the human body is new and unique to Michelangelo’s artistic style.

    In many ways Venus is found to be similar to Earth. However their similarities do not extend further than their physical properties, for instance, their atmospheres differ greatly from each other. Venus is said to have atmospheric pressure of 92.1 barometers (Adams, D. Et al., 1994 p.126) which it is evidently 92 times greater than Earth’s that is 1.01 barometers (Adams, D. Et al., 1994 p.126) at sea-level. In spite of this comparison to Earth’s atmospheric pressure, Venus owns an out of the ordinary atmospheric composition.

  • Compare And Contrast The Portrait Of A Lady And Mona Lisa

    729 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Lady has a white “V” neck shaped collar while the Mona Lisa has gold trim on her square shaped collar. Mona Lisa’s dress also looks a lot more flowy and lighter while the Lady’s dress seems more layered and thicker probably due to the colder weather in northern Europe. The Lady only has a dark blue canvas for a background while the Mona Lisa has a clearly defined landscape behind her with trees, water and a dirt road. The veil that the Lady wears is made from significantly thicker cloth and wears a dark colored headband. The Mona Lisa’s veil is barely visible. The Lady has a lighter hair color and is tied up in a bun with some kind of net or cap around it with silver pins tucked into it to keep her veil in place, while Mona Lisa has her dark, wavy hair draping down her shoulders in a casual yet elegant manner. We can see the ears on the Lady, but the Mona Lisa has her ears covered by her hair. The eyes of the Lady are bright and hazel colored. Mona Lisa’s eyes are dark and you can barely see her pupils in her irises. Maybe that is how Leonardo got the effect that her eyes seem to be moving. It also appears that she has no eyebrows, or they’re severely
