Compositions of reclining Venus have a long tradition in Western art history, symbolizing ideal beauty and love. They are part of a lineage of artistic representations which have their origins in classical Antiquity, where goddesses were often represented in a sensual and divine manner.
Two of the most famous depictions of this type are Titian’s “The Venus of Urbino” (1538) and Diego Velázquez’s “Venus in the Mirror” (c. 1647-1651).
