A Comparison of Two Pictures




The definition of Venus is different from past to the present. Because of imitate of the predecessor's works, it displays the different significance and the time background. Therefore, we can tell these special characteristics very clearly from Titian and Manet’s works, and they look pretty similar at a glance. In fact, the difference in time between Titian and Manet is five hundred years, but there are quite a few differences.
One difference is composition. The picture differentiates from the three positions of near, middle, and far. Although there is also a naked woman who lies down the bed in two pictures, it is the same for a glance. The most obvious difference is that in 《Venus of Urbino》 there are two women cleaning out something in a remote scenery ,but in 《Olympia》 a black woman holds flowers in her hands. The composition is different, however, Titian and Manet reflect the drawing style at that time.
A second difference is character. It exactly describes Venus both from past to the modern age. There is a shy model looking forward in the left-side picture, but the other model in the right-side picture is expressionless looking straight ahead. The definition of Venus has been vacillated since Titian to Manet.
The third difference is sign in works. The painting has the symbolic mark to provide frequently to view. For example, the symbol of puppy is loyal, but the symbol of black cat was unfortunate even suggestion of sex.
A fourth difference is time background. Two pictures' time is respectively the 15th century (The Renaissance) and the 20th century. The quantity of painting appears in Renaissance and these Pornographic Pictures serve to woman who does not marry yet. These designs are not only the pure portrait, but also usually drawn on the cover of the clothing boxes. Women use these to inspire their desire, in order to satisfying their husbands.
To sum up, paintings of Venus from Manet to Titian propose an issue to make the contrast. There are four reasons of composition, character, sign, and time background to show, the Venus has a new definition from Manet. In order to reflecting the people different thinking, two artists propose resistances to the social personal comment. The most important thing is that their works has the satire on social.
