Humbaba, Guardian Of The Cedar Forest, Killed By Deception. Gilgamesh And Einkidu Got Away With The Murder….

Diana and Endymion by Jérôme-Martin Langlois (1822)

The Venus of Urbino. Titian.

Either its a portrait of Angela Zaffetta, a leading courtesan in Venice, made for the pleasure of 21-year-old Ippolito de Medici (reluctantly made a cardinal by the Pope his uncle (but not priest)), after he spent just one night with the courtesan.

Or it was commissioned by Guidobaldo II de la Rovere, the 24-year-old son of the Duke of Urbino, to celebrate his marriage in 1534 to the 10-year-old Giulia Varano, which made him  Duke of Camerino, or its consummation, which was probably a few years later.

You can chose one, but anyway Venus was there….
