The first is Sleeping Venus (c.1508) after the Venetian Giorgione (1477–1510) and shows the goddess of love as the ideal sleeping beauty. Giorgione makes her a most peaceful, elegant figure.

The second picture is after Giorgione’s famous pupil and collaborator, Titian (1488–1576), another great Venetian painter. Titian pays tribute to his master in the Venus of Urbino (c.1538). He closely follows Giorgione’s pose, but on this occasion the beauty is wide awake and looking directly at us. For the time this was very unusual because the female nude normally posed modestly with downcast eyes. But Titian was no ordinary painter and he draws us into the picture with a strong element of seduction in the portrayal of his Venus.
