since the first discovery of the Venus flytrap back in 1763‚ there have been many discussions over if this plant is truly a living biotic creature. Some ways that I believe that it fits the characteristics to be considered living are‚ that it grows just like all other plants‚ it has adapted to its environment in order to survive‚ and it gets it nutrients from the insects and other small animals that it digests. Just like any other plant that you might see‚ the Venus flytrap does in fact grow from photosynthesis

The Venus flytrap is a small plant whose structure can be described as a rosette of four to seven leaves‚ which arise from a short subterranean stem that is actually a bulb-like object.

The three works of art that I have chosen to write about are “Venus” of Urbino‚ Spirit Spouse and Zenobia in chains. The Venus of Urbino was a painting made in 1538 in Florence‚ Italy. It depicts a Venetian courtesan woman lying down naked in a bed with provocative gestures. She has very fair skin and a Rubenesque body type. The 16th century was a time where women were depicted with a more curvaceous body type to express their wealth because in those times the thicker a man or a woman was the wealthier

the piece is created in. Particularly‚ in the 10th-17th century there is a rebirth of classical ideas‚ in this case Venus. I will be analyzing two Venuses‚ The Venus of Urbino by Titian and the Venus of Rokeby by Velazquez. Specifically‚ how does time period as well as commissioner influence the painting? And does this cause a change in the symbolic meaning and connotation of Venus? The renaissance was a time of rebirth influenced by classical ideas. Many artists found inspiration from the Greeks

The birth of Venus is displayed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence‚ Italy. But originally Botticelli was commissioned to paint the work by the Medici family of Florence‚ specifically Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de’ Medici under the influence of his cousin Lorenzo de’ Medici‚ close friend to Botticelli.
