Diosa de la belleza y del amor. Nació de las gotas de semen de Urano que cayeron al mar, en "El nacimiento de Venus", de Botticelli, aparece arrastrada hasta la orilla en una enorme concha. Seducia a los hombres con un cinturón mágico forjado por su marido Vulcano, y solia representarse como el ideal de la belleza de la época. Los desnudos femeninos, solian representar a las mujeres provocativamente reclinadas como en el "Venus dormida", de Giorgione.
Cupido era, entre otros- rosas, mirtos, cisnes, palomas o la manzana de la discordia- su atributo por antonomasia.
Goddess of the beauty and of the love. He was born of the drops of semen of Uranus that fell down to the sea, in "The birth of Venus", of Botticelli, she turns out to be dragged up to the shore in an enormous conch. It was seducing the men with a magic belt forged by its husband Vulcano, and was representing usually like the ideal of the beauty of the epoch. The feminine nudes, they usually represented the women provocativamente leaned as in "Asleep Venus", of Giorgione.
Cupid was, between others - roses, myrtles, swans, pigeons or the apple of the discord - its attribute excellently.
