'''Venus Genetrix''' ("Mother Venus") was Venus in her role as the ancestress of the Roman people, a goddess of motherhood and domesticity. A festival was held in her honor on [[September 26]]. As Venus was regarded as the mother of the [[Julio-Claudian dynasty|Julian]] ''[[gens]]'' in particular, [[Julius Caesar]] dedicated a temple to her in Rome. This name has also attached to [[Venus Genetrix (sculpture)|an iconological type of statue of Aphrodite/Venus]].

=== Klasik sanat ===

Roman and Hellenistic art produced many variations on the goddess, often based on the [[Praxiteles|Praxitlean]] type [[Aphrodite of Cnidus]]. Many female nudes from this period of sculpture whose subjects are unknown are in modern art history conventionally called 'Venus'es, even if they originally may have portrayed a mortal woman rather than operated as a [[cult statue]] of the goddess.

 

=== In non-classical art ===

 

 

Venus became a popular subject of [[painting]] and [[sculpture]] during the [[Renaissance]] period in Europe. As a "classical" figure for whom [[nudity]] was her natural state, it was socially acceptable to depict her unclothed. As the goddess of [[sexual healing]], a degree of erotic beauty in her presentation was justified, which appealed to many artists and their patrons. Over time, ''venus'' came to refer to any artistic depiction in post-classical art of a nude woman, even when there was no indication that the subject was the goddess.

 

== Tannhäuser ==

 

The [[medieval]] [[Germany|German]] legend [[Tannhäuser]] preserved the Venus myth long after her worship was extirpated by [[Christianity]].
