Venus And Cupid (Gentileschi)
''Venus and Cupid (Sleeping Venus)'' is a circa 1626 painting by Artemisia Gentileschi in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. ''Venus and Cupid'' is a depiction of a sleeping Venus, who reclines on a blue bed covering and rich crimson and gold tasseled pillow. She wears nothing except a thin wisp of transparent linen around her thigh. Her son Cupid fans her with richly colored peacock feathers as she drifts to sleep. He is gazing at her with an adored, raptured expression. In the background, there is a window looking out onto a moonlight landscape where a temple to the goddess lies. Venus's face has full cheeks, heavy lids, a prominent nose, and small protruding chin—all features of Gentileschi's own face. The body movements are natural: Venus's hand rests lightly on her side, her legs are gently laid together. The work blends together realism and classicism through its iconography and the artist's style. The painting was probably commissioned by an important and wealthy patron; ...

Venus And Cupid (Holbein)
''Venus and Amor'' (also known as ''Venus and Cupid'') is painting by the so-called "Venus Painter" of Hans Holbein the Youngers workshop and is conserved in the Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland. It was assumed for a long time to be painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, but research showed that this could not be possible.Müller, Christian (2006) p.356 It was discovered that the painter had used a sort of a carbon paper with the contours of the already existing Laïs and used it to transfer those contours in reverse on the new portrait he was to paint of Venus. As the portrait of Laïs is dated with 1526, the year of Hans Holbeins departure from Basel, it is assumed that the work has been painted between 1526 and 1528, the years Holbein stayed in London. The painting depicts the Roman goddess of love, Venus, with her son Amor (Cupid) and the model is believed to be either Magdalena Offenburg or her daughter Dorothea. They are shown in front of a large hanging green curtain and behi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Venus And Cupid (Lotto)
''Venus and Cupid'' is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Lorenzo Lotto in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It probably dates to ''c.'' 1530, but has been dated from the mid 1520s to as late as the 1540s. It is a wedding gift for a couple of Bergamo or Venice. Such paintings were inspired by the classical tradition of wedding poetry. Description Venus, lying on the ground and leaning on an elbow on a blue cloth, is accompanied by her son Cupid standing with his bow and quiver. He urinates on the bride through a crown of laurels of myrtle which she holds by a ribbon and below which is suspended a burning incense burner. This urine stream is a symbolic act, the meaning of which is to bring fertility, and which would have seemed humorous to contemporary viewers. A red cloth tied to a tree provides a background, and ivy climbs on the tree. Around Venus and Cupid are scattered allegorical objects of marriage (garland of myrtle), feminini ...

Venus And Cupid (Pontormo)
''Venus and Cupid'' is an oil painting on panel of by Pontormo, from a lost drawing or cartoon by Michelangelo, in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. A preparatory study is in the British Museum and a copy by Michele di Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio is in the Palazzo Colonna in Rome. Other copies are in the Royal Collection at Kensington Palace, in Hildesheim, a small version in Geneva attributed to Michele Tosini and two in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples (one attributed to Hendrick van den Broeck and the other an anonymous drawing). Giorgio Vasari made three copies for Ottaviano de' Medici. Michelangelo's drawing was first recorded by the Anonimo Magliabechiano (1537–1542), who also noted that Pontormo's painting derived from it was produced for Bartolomeo Bettini, a friend of Michelangelo's. The drawing must have been produced between 1532 and 1533 and the painting in 1533, before Michelangelo left for Rome the following year. A drawing found in Naples was once thou ...

Venus And Cupid (Sustris)
''Venus and Cupid'' or ''Venus, Mars and Cupid'' is a c.1554 oil on canvas painting by Lambert Sustris, entering the French royal collection of Louis XIV in 1671 and now INV 1978 in the Louvre Museum, where it displayed in the Salle de la Joconde. The artist was then a studio assistant to Titian and draws on his master's use of colour. Possibly commissioned by a member of the Fugger banking family in Augsburg (at least two of the five paintings by Sustris acquired by Louis are definitely known to have come from Augsburg). Before Louis XIV, it was probably owned Everhard Jabach Everhard or Eberhard Jabach (10 July 1618 – 9 March 1695) was a French businessman, art collector and director of the French East India Company.

Venus And Cupid (Titian)
''Venus and Cupid'' is a 1510–1515 oil on canvas painting by Titian, now in the Wallace Collection in London. It is dated by the model for Venus, who also appeared in other 1510s works by the artist such as his ''Salome (Titian, Rome), Salome'' (Galleria Doria-Pamphilj). Provenance It was first recorded in the 18th century in the inventories of the Orleans Collection, where it was misattributed to Giorgione. It passed through the hands of several British collectors such as John Howard, 15th Earl of Suffolk from 1802 to 1810 and John Rushout, 2nd Baron Northwick from 1834 to 1838 before being bought by Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford in 1859, bringing it to its present home. It has been attributed to Titian or perhaps Palma Vecchio or Francesco Vecellio since the 19th century.
