al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1127
first posted in facebook october 29, 2022
giorgione -- "sleeping venus" (ca. 1520)
"he was one of the greatest of all venetian artists, but who was giorgione?" ... john-paul stonard
"the painting, one of the last works by giorgione (if it is), portrays a nude woman whose profile seems to echo the rolling contours of the hills in the background. it is the first known reclining nude in western painting" ... wikipedia
"scarcely five paintings can be ascribed with absolute certainty to [giorgione's] hand. yet these suffice to secure him a fame nearly as great as that of the great leaders of the new [venetian] movement" ... ernst gombrich
"the 'sleeping venus' [...] is a painting traditionally attributed to the italian renaissance painter giorgione, although it has long been usually thought that titian completed it after giorgione's death in 1510. the landscape and sky are generally accepted to be mainly by titian. in the 21st century, much scholarly opinion has shifted further, to see the nude figure of venus as also painted by titian, leaving giorgione's contribution uncertain" ... wikipedia
"he seems more of a myth than a man. no poet on earth has a destiny to compare with his. almost nothing is known of him, some people even doubt his very existence [...] yet all the art of venice seems inflamed by his revelation" ... gabriele d'annunzio
"giorgione MUST have had a helluva public relations agent, no?" ... al janik

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:

RESEARCH
Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus (c. 1484–1486). Tempera on canvas. 172.5 cm × 278.9 cm (67.9 in × 109.6 in). Uffizi, Florence
"The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli is the first image of a completely naked female body, where nudity does not symbolize original sin (as, for example, in the image of Eve). It painting was, probably, inspiration for Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus" (c. 1510) or Titian's "Venus of Urbino" (1538).
