Talk:The Birth of Venus (Bouguereau)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well, no body has said anything... yet. This is a truly remarkable painting, but has a strange sense of censorship. In short, Venus has her breasts and other female parts (not getting too descriptive) showing out in the open. All the men in the picture are obscured by shadows or robes. But the women are not. The breasts of the women in the bottom left and bottom right are visible, along with the vagina (There, I said it) of the 'angel' up top.
[edit] Similarities to "The Nymphaeum"
This is a painting by Bouguereau from only one year earlier. Look at the painting (in the link below) and look at the nymph to the far left.
Doesn't she look exactly the same as the Venus in "The Birth of Venus"? Does anybody have more information on this?--Psa- 11:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
