Venus and Cupid

With Venus and Cupid, Tiziano Vecellio better known as Titian tried to showcase his creativity by producing a painting of a nude woman lying gently on the bed.

Titian is known to many as one of the most brilliant painters that were very influential during his time. His artworks were full of details making his paintings perfect. There are various versions of this picture reproduced over the years. On a 139cm by 195cm, Titiano gives a great art that to many shows the great understanding he has for the woman’s body. This painting was produced in circa 1555 and through it, he proved his painting skills.

To come up with the seductive piece of Venus and Cupid, Titian used oil on a canvas. This picture is not the only one of its kind. Titian painted five of them making some bit of variations on either one. Some have a man playing an organ while on others the man is playing a flute. This is one of those many pieces of paintings that Titian paid too much attention to the main character displaying her full body on the canvas.

In the painting Titian exposes a woman's full nudity paying attention to every specific detail that makes the painting very unique and different from any other woman's painting. He tries to bring forth his keen knowledge of the woman’s body in this well done artwork. He tends to pay more attention on her beauty and charm and he's very keen to even display her earring. This not only show his keen eye but also his abilities to consider even the smallest things to make this painting look great. The women seems distracted by the cupid whom Titian dint seem to have paid too much attention to.

Despite his less attention on the cupid, as a great artist he is keen to place some distinct features that tells his audience that its cupid and not just any other person, such features include carefully having the cupid's wing placed strategically on him and having him stand out regardless of the position he is placed on the painting. The background is well painted to complement the message being passed across. From head to toe, Titian tries to go basic but uses a number of minute details.

He first captures the beauty of Venus dwelling on her charming face and her attractive features. He then goes ahead to show her unique and well-shaped body parts like the eyes, the hair and the nose all the way to her feet. These are the main features that can be used to identify Venus on the other paintings. Through this painting Titian has gone overboard to show the romantic side of him as well as his creative side.

This picture has achieved wild recognition throughout the world that so many people travel to Uffizi gallery in Italy to see this unique painting. It is carefully hanged on one of the walls of this famous museum.
