<span>The Venus of Urbino is a painting by the Italian artist
Titian (Tiziano) which is an oil on canvas created in 1534. Other than its
technical excellence, this painting is known for “domesticating” Venus. For the
first time, the artist brought her indoors, engaging her with the viewer, and explicating
her sensuality. In fact, this painting doesn’t represent any of the godly
attributes she’s supposed to represent, on the contrary, the painter has
created an unapologetically erotic and sensual representation of the goddess.
