Chapter 5 analyzes erotic representations of Venus by Michelangelo Buonarroti, Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, Giorgio Vasari, and Michele Tosini. In ways heretofore not seen in representations of the goddess, these artists appropriated, manipulated, and referenced anatomical material, including the breasts, the mons pubis, the vulva, the phallus, and the buttocks. Privileging variety, novelty, and design, they separated anatomical parts from their original sources (ancient sculptures, studio models, or anatomical treatises) and from their original materials (marble, flesh, ink-and-paper) to fashion flirtatious figures of the goddess, her son, and the lusty satyr.
