In the article written
by Christopher L. C. E.Witcombe named “The Veneus of Willendorf.” He talks about the figure that found near the
Danube River near the town of Willendorf in Austria. Also, her 11.1 centimeters high frame is not
the most realistic of figures: her female attributes are quite exaggerated. About the name, like almost every single older
work of art, this is not the name the artist gave it to figure, but rather the
name that stuck after her discovery. As for the Venus, the ancient Roman
goddess of love, she predates classical mythology by over 20,000
years-prehistoric female figures found in the 1920s, like this one, were often
bestowed with the name ‘Venus’. If we compared with the Venus of Willendorf and
classical Venus as visually. Willendorf statuette is the lack of a face,
armless, footless, short, and stout body. And classical Venus is tall,
erotically curvaceous, nude young woman whose primary identity resides in her
physical and sexual body.
