Explain each of these two viewpoints and decide in which of these two ways the

painting was meant to be understood.

==Scholars such as colantuono believe the purpose of titans venus of urbinos was
to didactically promote sex and procreastion within the confines of marriage.
==santore has persuasively argues in La Nuda that the venus of urbino had no
marital significance, but should be regarded as an erotic painting, not venus.
Consider the way this painting was described by Vasari and in contemporary
inventories, its symbolism, and the fact that venice, where it was painted, was
famous for its courtesans.
==it ws described by Vasari as venus, it was simply called a nude in contemporary
inventories.
==santore suggests that it might depict a courtesans.
compare titans venus of urbino to the sleeping venus (paintedby gioriones, but
finished by titans), ==which was described by michiel, in 1525, as: the canvas of
the nude venus, who sleeps in a landscape, with little cupid were finished by titan
How was a married womens status, as dictated by sixteenth century societal
norms, different or the same as today? How do modern attitudes towards
prostitution compare to those expressed in the renaissance?
==prosttitues were permitted greater feedoms tan married non-aristocratic
venetian women, of being able to roam about, be educated, play musical
instruments.
==married , aristocratic womens lives, on the other hand were strictly regulated, to
the point that they were not allowed to look out their windows.
