The Venus of Urbino - Titian (1538)

This work, completed in 1538 for Duke Guidobaldo II della Rovere of Urbino, is very interesting and intriguing for its hidden meanings. The painting represents an allegory of marriage and was intended to serve as a “didactic” model for Giulia Varano, the young wife of the duke: the evident eroticism of the painting was meant to remind the woman of her marital duties toward her husband. The erotic allegory is even clearer in the depiction of Venus, the goddess of love, as a terrestrial and carnal woman who alluringly gazes at the viewer, indifferent to her own beauty.
The light and warm color of Venus's body, in contrast to the background and the dark cushions, further emphasizes her eroticism. The little dog at the woman's feet is a symbol of marital fidelity, while behind her, the maid observing the child rummaging through a chest is a wish for motherhood. The strong sensual charge of the work was therefore consistent with the domestic use for which it was commissioned. The pose of the nude figure is undoubtedly a homage to the friend-master Giorgione, who in 1510 painted a very similar work, the Sleeping Venus. In this piece, Titian, through the masterful use of color and its contrasts, as well as the subtle interplay of meanings and allusions, achieves the perfect representation of the Renaissance woman who, like Venus, becomes a symbol of love, beauty, and fertility. Titian's Venus of Urbino is housed in room 83 of the Uffizi. [source visituffizi.org]

I am strongly tempted to purchase the original vinyl of this album in an auction that ends tomorrow, assuming the right conditions arise.
I have a certain idea about it because this LP has always intrigued me (I have their first - Reality) but if you feel like it, your opinion would be appreciated as well.

Slint - Spiderland (Full Album)

Can you write an album like this at 20 years old, living in an American provincial town, and make it one of the cornerstones of post-punk with only 50,000 copies sold? It was released today, 30 years ago, and at the time, unknowingly (or maybe they did), it was already three decades ahead.

It's Immaterial - A Gigantic Raft In The Philippines
One of the most precious bands of the indie scene, a term that may suit the album "Life's hard and then you die" but is certainly too tight for "Song," a magnificent record from a deserted island with hints of Blue Nile's "Hats" and Prefab Sprout's "Jordan: The Comeback."
This is one of the first singles that came out in that England amused by the fusion/clash of punk with indie.
