Venus is ‘naked, just as God created her’, one might say. She herself is the Roman goddess of love. Depicted as her Greek counterpart Aphrodite, she emerges from the shell on which she was washed ashore by the west wind, Zephyr. Her unruly red hair is therefore blowing to the right, eastern side. She is covering her breasts with her right hand and her private parts with her left to protect her modesty. Nevertheless, she looks so seductive that it is not surprising that, in addition to love, she is also the goddess of eroticism and beauty, and is said to have had various love affairs with gods and humans.
