Sculpture Venus after bath. Statue representing a maiden emerging from the bath, likely Venus.

The motif of Venus emerging from the bath has captivated a large number of artists throughout the centuries. Neoclassical sculptors such as Canova or Allegrain, or painters like Godward, have depicted the sensuality and charm of the goddess after emerging from the water, recalling the relationship of this element with Venus.

In classical mythology, Venus, identified in Rome with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The myth tells of Venus’s birth from the waters, emerging from the foam generated by the fall into the sea of the genitals of the sky god, Uranus, mutilated by his son Cronos-Saturn. The aquatic origin of the goddess highlights Venus’s connection with water as a symbol of fertility, regeneration, and life. Venus was represented with symbolic attributes such as the rose and the mirror, and animals such as the dove or the swan, and represents love in all its facets, ranging from universal harmony to human desire and passion, beauty, and seduction.

Venus is attributed with loves with various lovers, both divine and human, from Vulcan, the god of smiths and fire, her legitimate husband, or his brother, Mars, the god of war, to mortals like the handsome Adonis, for whose death she descended to Hades, or the Trojan prince Anchises, from whom she begot Aeneas, considered by the Romans as her mythical predecessor.
