Sculpture of a Venus Torso. Venus – Aphrodite, goddess of love, fertility, and beauty. Considered since antiquity as the female ideal of beauty, the subject of countless artistic representations.
In classical mythology, Venus, identified in Rome with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The myth tells of Venus’s birth from the waters, emerging from the foam generated by the fall into the sea of the genitals of the sky god, Uranus, mutilated by his son Cronus-Saturn. The aquatic origin of the goddess highlights Venus’s connection with water as a symbol of fertility, regeneration, and life. Venus was represented with symbolic attributes such as the rose and the mirror, and animals like the dove or the swan, representing love in all its facets, ranging from universal harmony to human desire and passion, beauty, and seduction. Venus is associated with various lovers, such as Vulcan, the god of blacksmiths and fire, her legitimate husband, or his brother, Mars, the god of war. Venus also had human lovers like the beautiful Adonis, whose death led her to the Underworld, or the Trojan prince Anchises, from whom she begot Aeneas, considered by the Romans as her mythical ancestor.
Throughout the history of art from antiquity to the present day, Venus arouses the inspiration of poets, artists, and lovers, becoming a timeless figure that expresses the complexity of love in its various facets.
