The Venus of
WillendorfSlide6
Cultural Frame
The Venus of Willdendorf was found in Austria, and is believed
that the figure was carved during the
Paleolithic
Period (“The Old Stone Age).
It is one of numerous Venus sculptures found throughout Europe.
Is believed that it was used as a totem of fertility because of the fact that it never
had feet and does not stand on its
own. You can also see that parts of the body associated with fertility and childbearing have been emphasized.
The braided headdress may imply that she was seen as beautiful and as a goddess.

Venus de Milo
Cultural Frame:
Depicts
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty (Venus to
the Romans). Aphrodite’s were often portrayed half naked.
The statue reflects sculptural research during the late Hellenistic Period: classical in essence, with innovatory features such as the spiral composition, the positioning in space, and the fall of the drapery over the hips
.
The difficulty of restoring this sculpture has left the artwork surrounded in mystery. It has been suggested that she may be leaning against a pillar or holding an object such as a bow, mirror or apple.
