Why was Aphrodite called so many names?
Venus Arles, Borghese, and a few others? Are they named after the period they were sculptured or after the artist?
I just attended a musuem exhibition on Louvre exhibits, and Aphrodite statues numbered around 5 or slightly more. Some of them have manly facial features. I really liked the Venus Arles one.. can someone in the know clarify?
Thanks leftie, I am a libra after all, and so are you..
Are you the God of love? lol
Venus is a Roman Goddess identified with the Greek goddess of llove and fertility, Aphrodite, their appearance and characteristics are very similar.
Sculptures are often named after the place they are found. eg The Arles Venus was discovered in several pieces at the Roman theatre at Arles, France, in 1651, by workmen who were digging a well. .Or else, these statues are given the name of the persons or collection to whom they belong. e.g. The Borghese Venus was originally in tihe collection of the Italian Borghese family, but is now in the Louvre Museum thanks to its purchase by Napoleon. But its name - The Borghese Venus - remains unchanged.
