"a discussion as to the true in
90 depreciation of the pose of the
Il n armicss Venus of Milo a mem
Der of the matchless goddess own sex
seems to have discovered her real
meaning and reason for existence.
The discoverer is Miss Francesca
Paloma Del Mar, an artist of New
York city.
This Iady's Interpretation of the Milo
Venus is that her goddess-ship is no
Venus at all, but none less than the
Divine Mother of the ancient religions,
in this statue Demeter of the Greeks,
mother of all the living, even Mater
Deorum, Mother of the Gods.
Miss Del Mar declares the pose of
the so called Venus shows that she
must have been holding u somewhat
heavy weight upon her left arm and
supporting it by her shoulder when
she had her picture taken. No human
figure would assume such a posture
unless it supported a weight Miss
Del Mar has made painting, heroic
size, of her ideal restoration of the
statue, with a child in its arms, hold
ing the infant in the manner described
models to stand for her in this attitude
she had not the slightest difficulty in
placing them. as they naturally fell in
to the pose of their own accord while
holding a child upon the left arm and
against the left shoulder. AS a matter
of fact, a mother always holds her
child with her left arm, that she may
have the right hand free to do some
thing else.
L will be observed that, as Miss Del
Mar has restored the statue in her
painting, il resembles a picture of the
Madonna and Holy Child, even to the
nimbrs around the head of each. This
is precisely the artists idea. The Di-
vine Mother and Holy Child are con-
ception evolved by paganism ages be-
fore the Christian era. The fathers of
the Christian church adopted the ten
der and beautiful emblem among the
symbols of the new faith. The nim-
bus or radiance around the heads of
1iVinitieS was also employed as far
back as heather de;ties have been rep
resented. The wall paintings Of ruined
Pompeii show pagan gods and god
desses with the halo. and Pompeii was
destroyed in the year 80. Upon the
mutilated heads of many ancient
statues are still the fastenings of the
destroyed nimbus.
