Selene and Endymion.The chaste goddess of the moon, Selene (or Diana), is in love with the shepherd Endymion. Only at night when he is asleep does she quietly creep down to him, accompanied by Cupid, whose torch symbolizes burning love. This painting was (appropriately) hung in Mary Stuarts bedchamber in Soestdijk Palace, for Lairesse felt that the function and decoration of a room should correspond.

Venus and Cupid 1520s Lorenzo Lotto Italian In his inimitable fashion, in this unique masterpiece Lorenzo Lotto takes one of the most popular subjects of Venetian painting and gives it a witty and humorous twist. Naughty Cupid urinates on his mother through a laurel wreathan act meant to symbolize fertility. Because this is a marriage picture, it is inspired by ancient marriage poems. It is possible that Venus’s features may be taken from the bride’s. The beautifully observed details relate to the goddess and marriage. The ivy is symbolic of fidelity; brides wore a myrtle wreath; incense perfumes the bower; a snake warns against jealousy. Listen to experts illuminate this artwork's story Listen Play or pause #5079.

The Toilet of Bathsheba 1643 Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) Dutch Rembrandt shows the biblical figure Bathsheba completely nude, lost in a moment of contemplation and unaware that she is being observed by King David in the distant tower in the background. Classicist critics particularly objected to Rembrandts realistic representation of the female body, declaring that the marks of garters could be seen on the legs of his figures from history or myth—see Bathshebas left calf here. Like much of the picture, the attendant arranging Bathshebas hair is badly abraded from past cleaning, but she may have been intended to represent a woman of African origin.

Lucretia. Artemisia Gentileschi (Italian, 1593 - after 1654) about 1627 Lucretia emerges from the shadows and grasps a dagger, aiming it at her chest. The beauty of her translucent skin, the pearls in her hair, the luxurious fabricsall contrast with the horror of what is about to happen. The main source for the story of Lucretia is the History of Rome (Book I, 57 - 59) by ancient Roman historian Titus Livius. The legendary Lucretia was the virtuous wife of the nobleman Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus. After her rape by Sextus Tarquinius, the son of the King of Rome, she called on her father and her husband for vengeance and then, while proclaiming her innocence, stabbed herself to death. Anger and grief over Lucretias death led to a rebellion that brought down the corrupted monarchy and made her a martyr for freedom. Lucretia became an enduring symbol of female strength, and her story likely had personal resonance for the artist: like Lucretia, Artemisia Gentileschi had experienced sexual

The languorous, sensuous pose of this woman is strongly reminiscent of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' popular paintings of odalisques, female slaves and concubines in Turkish harems. A 'harem' is not a bordello, seraglio or brothel, but refers to the women's quarters, usually in a polygynous household, which are forbidden to men. It originated in the Near East and is typically associated in the Western world with the Ottoman Empire. Female seclusion in Islam is emphasized to the extent that any unlawful breaking into that privacy is haram ie, 'forbidden'. A Muslim harem does not necessarily consist solely of women with whom the head of the household has sexual relations (wives and concubines), but also their young offspring, other female relatives or odalisques, which are the concubines' servants. The harem may either be a palatial complex, as in Romantic tales, in which case it includes staff (women and eunuchs), or simply their quarters, in the Ottoman tradition separated from the me
