Peter Paul Rubens’ masterpiece, Venus and Adonis, is not only a significant artwork of the baroque-period in Europe during the 17th century, but it also tells the mythological story that begins with love, and ends in tragedy. Displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this painting is admired for representing the unique baroque-style of this era, as well as Rubens’ particular use of the medium and how it reaches those who are viewing it. His attention to detail and crafty use of symbolism within
body is average, she is not a Venus, her lips are thin and her body is not overly soft or fleshy. Manet does not outline and showcase her body or pose, the only part of her that he brings out are the woman’s hands. People used to make comics about the work where they would depict Olympia in many horrible ways and one of the features of these drawings that were consistent were the black hands they would draw on her due to his dark emphasize of Olympia’s

While the artists of antiquity embraced the nude body, during the Renaissance the nude was something that was hard to tackle. One of the major reasons that the naked body was looked down upon within this society is because of its connection to that of original sin. Original sin, which led to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, was an idea that was contrived
Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant native in bogs and swamp lands in North and South Carolina. It was discovered in the 1700s and named after the Greek goddess Dione which gave it the scientific name Dionaea. The species name muscipula came from the Latin word “Mus” (mouse) and “Cipula” (trap). Venus flytrap is one of the only two known species of plants that use fast-closing, double-spaced trap mechanism to capture insects. The leaf of a Venus flytrap have two primary regions: a leaf-base that
especially in a society where Christianity sets the norm for religions, is meant to look after his or her followers and grant them a prosperous life. Yet, there is a sense of unease in the morbid depictions of the gods alters in the Knight’s Tale. Venus had a thousand people caught in her snare, Mars relished in glory with wolf eating a dead man by his feet, and Diane simply turned those who wronged her into animals. Chaucer’s use of literary synesthesia brings these portrayals of the gods to life
Exhibited in the Baron & Ellin Gordon Art Gallery at Old Dominion University (ODU), “Venus Visits the Homestead Resort” is an oil on linen painting created by Mike Brewer. With a strong looking inward theme, it depicts a tranquil yet seductive young female figure standing upright as if she is stretching her flawless feminine body in a beauty pose. Behind the nude is a more subordinate setting where a silent pool reflects a mirror image of her surroundings. In addition, her unashamed nudity, closed
Love and Venus-Sartjee the Hottentot Venus, both exemplify the misogynistic and racist nature of Europe in the nineteenth-century. Women of color were treated differently than white women, more specifically, African women were viewed not only as objects, but as science exhibits for wealthy Europeans to gawk at. Through the titles of the prints, the accompanying dialogue, and the depiction of several individuals, the message of the prints is apparent. La Belle Hottentote and Love and Venus-Sartjee

Some would argue that the story is about how people can make wrong decisions when they have an obsessive longing for something that they have no control over. One piece of evidence is that the children make fun of Margot’s poem. Some of them tell her that she lied and didn’t write the couplet herself. They are very jealous because
The statue titled, Torso of Venus, was a replica of the original work by Praxiteles. The Romans made the sculpture in 1st or 2nd century AD during the time of the Late Antiquity period; more specifically known as the Pre-Constantine period. Like the original, the statue was made out of marble. The Torso of Venus is a statue of the goddess Venus, known commonly as the goddess of love and beauty. It was said that she was born, or emerged, from the sea foam. Venus, or Aphrodite to the Greeks, was the

Although through the story we see each child grow and progress, Venus is the main character and we see her open up to Torey through books and most important She-Ra comics. As Venus’ story unfolds, so do the horrendous details of her family that include a past of drug abuse and prostitution. The quietness of Venus that left many confused, begins to make
Venus is the second planet away from the sun, about 30 million miles farther from the sun than Mercury. The belief is that being farther away it must be cooler. But these beliefs can be dangerous. Mercury has no atmosphere, no warming blanket to help it keep the sun’s heat. Venus is covered by a very thick atmosphere, almost 100 times thicker than it is on Earth. The carbon dioxide let's
A great artist, Eugene Delacroix, once said, “What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.” This famous saying, highlights one of the reasons art or even a single painting is so important. Art is more than shapes and colors; art brings about so much more meaning. It expresses life, history, beauty, and morals. It shows beliefs and contributes to the many reasons that make a human

and having 'animal' urges, must have wanted a partner to share his emotions and get frisky with, so this was the perfect idea for him. What could be better, a woman with beautiful looks, and never talks back or argues with you? Bliss. Since no one came up to his expectations, it became an obsession that he wanted the perfect wife. Or maybe he wanted to show off to his mates that he had the perfect woman in Cyprus, even though it was ivory. Does anything in the earlier part of the story help
