There were also some comparisons between their artwork(s). I have decided to look further into Copley’s and West’s artwork(s) and this is what I have found. John Singleton Copley’s painting: Mars‚ Venus‚ and Vulcan: The Forge of Vulcan features Venus which is the symbol of love and sex. It shows Venus as very seductive young woman.

We observed Venus‚ Mars‚ Jupiter (and it’s 3 moons) and also talked about a few star constellations as well. Venus‚ that night was in it’s gibbous phase‚ and as I observed I noticed that Venus was a whole lot brighter in the sky to the naked eye than Jupiter and its three moons were.

During The Knight’s Tale Palemon visits the temple of Venus. I did not predict Palemon visiting the temple of Venus‚ because I more thought he would visit the temple of Mars because of how much anger and resentment Palemon held. Although‚ while Palemon visits the temple of Venus he prays for not strength or victory but wants Emily and to die while serving Emily.
