To compensate for not having posted the usual Two Paintings back on Friday, today I want to post Three--one of which, admittedly, is not of the Baroque era but which seems to belong here.
As always, I invite comments on correspondences and differences between/among the paintings; I also want to encourage the especially-inspired to write me about posting something here and, in so doing, begin to move this blog in the direction of what I've always conceived it of becoming: a multi-voiced site.
Titian, The Venus of Urbino, 1538
Rubens, Venus in Front of Her Mirror, c. 1613/1614
Velázquez, Venus at her Mirror (aka The Rokeby Venus), 1644-1648)
For what it's worth, the curious can find a discussion (continued in the comments) of the Velázquez here.
