Motiv / Thema:
Venus ist die römische Göttin der Liebe, des erotischen Verlangens und der Schönheit. Das ihr beigeordnete Tier ist der Delphin, da dieser in der Antike als Symbol für Liebe und Philanthropie galt.
In Rom hatte sie in alter Zeit besondere Verehrung als Murcia, worin man später fälschlich die „Myrtenfreundin“ (Myrtea) sehen wollte, sowie als Cloacina. Als Venus Libentina oder Venus Lubentina war sie die Göttin der sinnlichen Lust. Die Leichengöttin Venus Libitina wurde mit dieser „gleichgesetzt […] wegen der Namensähnlichkeit“. In deren Tempel wurden die zur Bestattung notwendigen Utensilien aufbewahrt und die Totenlisten geführt. Parallel zur Entwicklung der Venus verlief in Kampanien die Gleichsetzung der oskischen Göttin Herentas zu Aphrodite. Der erste stadtrömische Venustempel wurde 295 v. Chr. von Quintus Fabius Maximus Gurges geweiht. 217 v. Chr., nach der Schlacht am Trasimenischen See, wurde auf Geheiß der Sibyllinischen Bücher der Venus vom Berg Eryx ein Tempel gelobt und auf dem Kapitol erbaut.

Motif / Theme:
Venus is the Roman goddess of love, erotic desire and beauty. Her associated animal is the dolphin, since in ancient times it was considered a symbol of love and philanthropy.
In ancient times in Rome she had special veneration as Murcia, in which one later mistakenly wanted to see the "myrtle friend" (Myrtea), and as Cloacina. As Venus Libentina or Venus Lubentina, she was the goddess of sensual lust. The corpse goddess Venus Libitina was "equated [...] with this because of the similarity in name". The utensils needed for burial were kept in their temple and the lists of the dead were kept. Parallel to the development of Venus, the Oscan goddess Herentas was equated with Aphrodite in Campania. The first urban Roman temple to Venus was built in 295 BC. by Quintus Fabius Maximus Gurges. 217 BC After the Battle of Lake Trasimeno, a temple was sworn to Venus from Mount Eryx at the behest of the Sibylline Books and built on the Capitol.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Sculpture

Sculpture is an artistic activity which consists of designing and producing shapes in volume, in relief, either in the round (statuary), in high relief, in low relief, by modeling, by direct carving, by welding or assembly. The term sculpture also designates the object resulting from this activity.
