Framed Prints
Framed Print of The Birth of Venus, c. 1516. Creator: Marco Dente (Italian, c. 1486-1527)
The Birth of Venus, c. 1516. Marco Dente was one of several printmakers who re-created Raphaels designs as engravings. Both of Dentes compositions after Raphael (see also the engraving above) relate to the latters frescos in the stufetta, or bathroom, of Cardinal Bernardo Dovizi da Bibbienas apartments in the Vatican Palace. A scholar of classical antiquity and a patron of the arts, the Cardinal personally chose these mildly erotic female nudes, a common subject in bathroom decorations, even for members of the clergy. Depicted here is Venus, the goddess of love and fertility. According to the myth of her birth, she was created in sea foam from the castrated genitals of the primeval sky god Uranus. In the clouds, Uranuss son Saturn, the god of time, prepares to mutilate his father with a curved sword. Meanwhile, Venus steps out of frothy waves onto a seashell.
