Glenn Hirsch, Instructor

3. The Venus of Urbino is a 1538 painting by the Italian master Titian. It depicts a nude young woman, identified with the
goddess Venus, reclining on a couch in the sumptuous surroundings of a Renaissance palace. Devoid of any classical or
allegorical trappings – Venus displays none of the attributes of the goddess she is supposed to represent – the painting
is a portrait of his patron’s girlfriend and is meant to shock the society of that time.

4. Olympia is a 1865 painting by Édouard Manet which is a parody of Titian’s Venus, and is meant to shock the society of its time.
It shows a nude white woman ("Olympia") lying on a bed being brought flowers by a black servant. Olympia's confrontational
gaze caused astonishment when the painting was first exhibited because a number of details in the picture identified her as a
well-known prostitute.
