The Intriguing Psychology Behind Botticelli's Venus (Waldemar Januszczak Documentary) 

Shocking Blue. 1969. But I'm in general agreement with the gist of your post. Cheers!

@@luiscuixara4622 my original point of reference,likewise

Yes! Spring flowers 🙂🌼🌺🌸

Nice pun, but I think the title comes from nascita which does indeed mean birth.

Good point, but "make port" would be spelled "berth" I think 🤔

Overthinking it a little....

@@amberquinney9901 ]

Frosty testicles.

YUP. You got it right.

Yes, I think you are right.... Modigliana went a few steps more and painted with more elongated figures with some Cubist features.

yes! And the long necks

It's awkward but who cares!??! It works for me ...not just because I'm Greek [hahaha]

Make that "disembarkation". The end of the journey.

Venus is arriving on Cyprus; not leaving.

I would say that the difference is propounding a hypothesis and driving it home until you are convinced. Or find good reason not to be.

My parents would joke that it should be Vespuccia because most places are named from a sur name. Lol. My dad made up a song for Vespuccia, lol.

'America' has proven to be convenient for song writers. USA or US doesn't work so well.

Thank you

What about describing someone/something from the USA as being ‘American’ (for example done by prominent US politicians and agencies). Would that be incorrect according to you as well? From what I understand it all depends on context on whether America/ American are appropriate to use. Language is not static and evolves over time. Words change meaning or become antiquated. There are regional and cultural differences. Not taking any of that into account and just saying X=wrong seems simplistic to me. (But I do admit, this host doesn’t exactly seem to be very respectful of the places he visits based on the couple of videos I’ve seen.)

The Americas are a continent, modern usagevallows America as being the abbreviation for the United States of Ameruca, which is a country, not a continent.

Thissss 👌👌👌

Uma Thurman: Dangerous Liaisons/Baron Munchausen

I saw a Cate Blanchett in the other painting...

Actually it would be a great title, especially considering the other connotation of the expression. "Arrival" being an old colloquial term for sexual climax; where we get our modern derivative of "coming" (arriving to the point of climax), it adds another view of the implication of the "birth" not being physical (or in this case, from testicles and sea foam) but the figurative transition of the seasonal "birth" into womanhood. So yes, actually a very good title.

Shes not. Bellies were just considered attractive at the time. The Venus in the painting could seem pregnant as well.

@@melanietoth1376 It was normal for women to be frequently pregnant before birth control, or to have sprung bellies from many pregnancies.

This is about the Renaissance, generally, but it's specifically about portrayals of Venus in the works from the Renaissance. Says it right in the title. And all of the works are stunningly beautiful in their own way.

And Venus/Aphrodite does not have deformed feet, as Sarah suggests. They are actually quite luscious and tender…having never touched hard land until this moment.

Dunant is just another woman picking apart a woman who is more attractive than is she.

Cyprus is not a tree.

No "enemy" in it.

What?! So I've been getting that wrong my whole life. Thanks for the correction :)

@@monicasmalley3336 Don't feel bad. I knew a university professor who always said "ANOMONOUS" for "anonymous".

And Waldemar says it as if he can't get his tongue around "anemone".

Just those five? How did you come up with your theory, and those particular artists? It's very interesting. I think Degas and Monet would be included. I think people probably recognize and like Toulouse Lautrec's work, even if they don't know who painted it. A lot of people seem to really like Picasso, or at least some of his paintings and ceramics. Most people seem to know who Jackson Pollock is, and have some affinity for his work. So many more, too, but I must go watch more Waldemar.

@@paigetomkinson1137 The people who responded to art with simplicity wanted unabashed beauty and imagination. Why those 5? Intensity perhaps. Degas and Monet have appealed to an even wider audience, yes.

@@sanniepstein4835 That's quite interesting! Thank you for explaining.

Super rapey. If you read Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' you'll lose count of all the women who are raped, as if it were a natural part of courtship.

The host explicitly tells the viewer that the story is about rape. Its not ambiguous.

Flowers are beautiful but so is the knowledge that they are creations of evolutionary processes. Both can be appreciated.

Are you a painter? Cartoon? You mean contour drawing. There were two schools of thoughts at that early time. Michaelangelo used lines and painted inside of them: filled the forms by color. Titian painted the lines, which irritated Michaelangelo. After a visit to his studio, Michelangelo declared the Venitians as incapable of doing decent drawing. The noticeable contour lines preceded the technique of softening the lines done by Titian.

@@annahope7003 line vs colour. Form, reason vs Color, subjectivity.

Yes...see bits about his illustrations of Dante-not just a cartoonist, but an animated cartoonist...another time traveller...😊
