Comments

hello, I just have a general observation and question about the iconography of the Venus on the half shell. Has anyone examined the correlation between this iconography of Venus on the half shell and the celestial sky? Often times when I look up at the sky and see the planet Venus sitting above the crescent moon that looks like a bowl or a sea shell and I'm reminded of this Iconography. I see mention in these articles that the sea shell is a symbol of the vulva. That makes sense, but I'm wondering if there could also be a direct celestial reference to this symbolism. Could the half shell be a representation of the crescent moon? Also is there any traditional ceremonial significance in ancient religious traditions to times when a crescent moon is lying under the planet Venus? Or does anyone out there know who I should ask or where I could look to find out more about this?

thanks for any info, thoughts etc. Duncansylvester 19:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC) duncan sylvester. also pardon me if I am breaking any protocol, this is my first time posting on wikipedia perhaps this isn't the right forum for this kind of question.[reply]

Why Gallery?

The three paintings by Titian, Bouguereau, and Cabanel are in a gallery. I don't think we need a gallery for just three images. If no one objects, I will change them back to thumbnails. Lt. Waaxe 18:41, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Examples from "the renaissance"?

Hello all,

above the three paintings there is a caption stating that these are examples of the motif from the renaissance. This is certainly not the case with two of them. I suggest changing the caption to "Other examples of the motif Venus Anadyomene in art". Aurochs77 (talk) 08:46, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
