Where does the beauty of Venus come from?

Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, fertility and navigation, which is her name in Roman mythology; In Greek mythology, her name is Avelotti. Venus rises from the sea. It is said that at the beginning of the world, the goddess Kaya, who ruled the earth, combined with Uranus, who ruled heaven, and gave birth to a group of giants. Later, the husband and wife turned against each other. In a rage, Chaya ordered his youngest son, Cronus, to cut his father with a sickle. Uranus' flesh fell into the sea, producing bubbles, and Venus was born. In Greek, "Avelot Dede" means foam.

Later, Venus married Vulcan, a rude, ugly and disabled Vulcan, but this did not affect her to romance other love stories. The most famous thing is that she fell in love with handsome adonis. When she heard that adonis was killed by a wild boar, she ran and cried, so that her feet were punctured by blood and the white roses were dyed red. And she fell in love with Mars, the god of war, and was tied in the net by her husband. ...

The ancient Greeks created a large number of statues and portraits of Venus to express their love for the goddess. 1820, on the Greek island of Milos, local farmers found a statue of Venus while digging. This statue is an original Greek sculpture in the middle of the second century BC, and is called "Venus of Milos". At that time, its arms and trunk were separated, but they were generally well preserved. Soon after, in a scuffle for the statue, Cupid's arm was completely damaged. 182 1 year, the statue of Venus with a broken arm was given to the Louvre in France after many twists and turns and became one of the "three treasures of the town hall" in the museum.

Venus of Milos is 2 meters tall, which not only provides a recognized standard for the beauty of women's figure, but also shows the feminine and charming characteristics of women: a complex and subtle movement is leading her hips to the right, her left knee leans forward, and her strong and elastic abdomen sets off a realistic navel; Her face set off a vivid navel; But her face shows a solemn and calm, giving people a sense of reserve and elegance. Its unparalleled beauty is concentrated in its dignified and confident appearance and graceful and tender body, thus making this statue glow with eternal youthful vitality. The marble used to make the statue has been carefully polished, which fully shows a woman's delicate and smooth skin, and we seem to feel her body temperature and the beating of blood vessels. Under the contrast of the heavy dress of the lower body, the statue adds rich changes and implicit aesthetic feeling, showing the artistic characteristics of the interwoven tradition and innovation in late ancient Greece. As German aesthetician winkelmann said, "Noble simplicity, quiet greatness." Venus of Milos perfectly shows the unique beauty and lofty quality of Greek sculpture. She is famous for her plump skin. Graceful demeanor won the world over, so that Rodin, a sculptor in the19th century, could not help exclaiming "the magic in the magic"!
