Venus and Adonis by Titian

This sumptuous portrayal of the tragic tale of Venus and Adonis by Titian and workshop was the jewel in the crown of Masters Week in London, with a sale price of £11.2 million, or $13.6 million, the second highest auction price for any work featuring Titian’s hand. With a near unbroken provenance reaching back 300 years, this is one of the finest versions of the artist’s most popular subject, sought out by collectors the world over ever since it was first made famous 470 years ago.

Character ask: Aphrodite

Favorite thing about them: She's a fascinating figure, full of potential for stories: a stunningly, irresistibly beautiful goddess who embodies romantic love and sexuality, who can be cruel and kind in equal measure, just like love itself. It's no wonder that she's captivated writers and artists for centuries.

Least favorite thing about them: As I said above, she can be cruel: for example, in her treatment of Psyche, and her role in starting the Trojan War. Of course this is true for most of the Greek gods and goddesses, not just her.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I'm passionate.

*I love romance (in stories, at least) and visual beauty.

*I can be hot-tempered and petty sometimes.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm not irresistibly alluring to men.

*I don't take vicious offense when people consider other women more beautiful than I am.

*Unlike her traditional depiction, I'm not blonde.

Favorite line: I'd need to read through all the various mythology sources to find one.

brOTP: Her son Eros, when she's not abusing his future wife Psyche.

OTP: Her various famous lovers (Ares, Anchises, Adonis), and in some modern retellings, her husband Hephaestus.

nOTP: Any of her own children, or anyone she's put a curse on.

Random headcanon: If there's a place where the gods and goddesses of different cultures can meet, then when she visits that place, I'm sure she enjoys lording her fame over other love-goddesses like Inanna and Freya. None of them embody love and beauty throughout Western art and popular culture the way she does.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not sure how to feel about the traditional portrayal of her marriage to Hephaestus, or about revisionist versions thereof. On the one hand, I understand the urge to deconstruct the tradition of "beautiful goddess despises her ugly husband and has affairs willy-nilly with handsomer gods and men." By pure instinct, I like seeing them reimagined as a happily married couple. But at the same time, I think of all the discourse surrounding the Hades and Persephone myth, and apply the same thoughts here. Arguably, the fact that Aphrodite is forced into a loveless marriage reflects the experience of most women in ancient Greece, and the fact that she does have affairs willy-nilly – and that she's the goddess of love but not of marriage – reflects the separation between marriage and love in ancient Greek culture. Ultimately, I'm open to both types of retelling, just like I'm open both to "happily married Persephone" and "unhappily married Persephone" in portrayals of the Underworld.

Song I associate with them: None.

Favorite picture of them:

The Aphrodite of Knidos:

The Aphrodite of Milos, or as it's better known in pop culture, the Venus de Milo:

Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus:

Alexandre Cabanel's The Birth of Venus:

The Sleeping Venus by Giorgione and Titian:

Titian's Venus of Urbino, assuming she really is the goddess and not just a courtesan:

Titian's Venus with a Mirror:

Jacques-Louis David's Mars Being Disarmed by Venus:

William Blake Richmond's Venus and Anchises:

This illustration of her birth from D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths:

Marilee Heyer's illustration of her birth from Doris Orgel's book We Goddesses:

Aphrodite as she appears in Disney's Hercules – not high art, but she is cute:

VENUS, ADONIS AND CUPID(1595) by ANNIBALE CARRACCI

VENUS, ADONIS, AND CUPID focuses on a tale best known for its association with OVID, the ROMAN poet. CARRACCI shows the scene just before VENUS is hit by CUPID’s arrow, in which she falls in love with ADONIS (whose hounds are shown accompanying him as he embarks on an imprudent hunt with an angry boar).

In the background, we see a couple of pigeons, which symbolize love. The two figures are supported by a complex backdrop of ancient ruins and a chaotic sky, which adds drama to the story.

VENUS, ADONIS, and CUPID shows CARRACCI’s broad range of influences, incorporating elements from VERONESE, TITIAN, and GRECO-ROMAN sculptures. This fable was painted by Veronese as well as TITIAN, and there are similarities in the composition, where VENUS interacts with ADONIS before a naturalistic backdrop.

As a naturalist painter, CARRACCI’s special talent shines through here, as his sculptural molding of the figure’s bodies, and the light that illuminates the smoothness of their skin, creates a subtle realism that might have put him at odds with the MANNERISTS’ preference for realism. CARRACCI’s talent for playing with light is also evident in his use of cloth materials, particularly in the beautiful iridescent shimmer of ADONIS’ robe.
