Although they share many of the same interests, Venus of Urbino and Olympia have many differences. We see two naked women seated on their beds in both paintings. The Olympia painting shows the woman seated on her bed with a black male servant. The cat and a cat are looking out into the unknown. While the Venus of Urbina depicts the woman sitting off to the side and the other woman at the distance. They are similar in appearance, but they have different meanings.

The prostitution that took place in Olympia during this period caused the confrontation. The male servant is waiting for the woman by holding his hand. The painting shows the male servant presenting flowers and waiting on the woman by her feet and hand. However, the woman does not seem to be interested in any of this. The woman may believe she is used to receiving gifts. Manet was disregarded because of her painting. She used a sensitive topic of that period. This painting also shows her not as the ideal woman. Beautiful, glowing skin would be the ideal look for a woman. Their body would be in the right shape. She would smile happily. But the woman in this picture doesn’t have that look. The woman shown is pale and has a simple body. The painting contrasts between dark and light. The contrast between the dark background and the light woman is the blend of the bed sheets and the lady. The woman is not ashamed of the fact that she is “facing” the camera. It shows her confidence in herself. This painting was created to help women visualize and remind them of the expectations that they had for their wives in this time. This painting shows a woman representing the goddess of Love. We can also see the contrast in the light and shadow of the painting. Venus shines through because Venus is directly looking at you. You can see a child, possibly in a toy box, looking at you, while the maid or servant looks over her. Dogs are a symbol of loyalty to many people. For me, seeing the dog sitting on the bed beside the woman makes me think about the loyalty that is central to marriage. Loyalty is the only thing that makes marriage worthwhile. In today’s culture, red roses symbolize the purity, beauty, and meaning of love. The red roses she is holding are a symbol of true love. These two points are crucial because they symbolize true love. True love should not be taken lightly. As the mother looks on, the maid watches over the little child. Mothers are always there to look after their child, even when they are not around. Mothers look after their children no matter what cost or circumstance.

Summary: The painting and the text are different but not identical. Both represent trademarks that have been passed down through the centuries. The woman looking shows the dignity and power that women have.
