Women and mythology were always favorite themes of Rene Lalique’s designs. A great artist of the Art Deco period he was often referred to as the “Rodin of Transparencies”. The Venus Nude sublety reminds us of the grace and sensuality of the goddess of beauty and love.
Dr. Zucker: [0:20] Right. There’s not much to convey the idea that she’s a Venus, except that she’s nude. It seems to be a protective title that makes it acceptable subject matter.
Dr. Harris: [0:30] Which was often the case in the history of art after this, that one could look at image of a nude woman and think about ideas of beauty, safe from a sense of improper looking, by understanding the figure as Venus instead of a nude woman.
No indication of the subject, meaning, or use of Titian’s is given when it is first mentioned in a 1538 letter written by its , Guidobaldo II della Rovere, duke of Urbino. He merely refers to it as “the nude woman” (“”). Its present title stems from Titian’s early biographer, Giorgio Vasari, who describes the picture in the duke’s (wardrobe suite) at his palace in as: “a young recumbent Venus with flowers and certain fine draperies about her, very beautiful and well finished.”[1]
