This work was commissioned by the Duke of Guidobaldo II della Rovere. It
may be painted to celebrate his wedding in 1534. The Italian cassone with the
original decoration which was a traditional box (also known as safe or Keith,
was one of the oldest forms of furniture) was regarded as a wedding present.
The maid behind the painting was carrying off to look for the clothes of Venus.

master of the bedroom. The Venus was staring at the audience and was

small dog accompanying her beside the bed, and the dog was often used as a
symbol of the "loyal". The chamber had a maid who was prepared the clothes
for the hostess after the bath. Titian placed Venus in an environment with
strong family fun, which helped to strengthen the close and the warm feeling,
and also catered to upper-class taste. In shaping the image of Venus, the
painter gave full play to the body-building style, meant to depict the ideal and
healthy women. Venus was rich, mature, gentle, and full of the young beauty.
This painting became the leader in similar subjects, and also became the
hard-to-reach typical type in female nude paintings.
