Explain the symbolism in Titian’s Reclining Nude (Venus of Urbino), and suggest what—if anything—separates art of this kind from pornography

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

1. Unlike Florentine art, sensuality, even outright sexuality, was a primary subject of Venetian art. In Titian’s Venus of Urbino, painted for Duke Guidobaldo della Rovere of Urbino in 1538, “Venus”—more a real woman than an ethereal goddess, and referred to by Guidobaldo as merely a “nude woman”—is frankly available. She stares out at the viewer, Guidobaldo himself, with matter-of-factness, suggesting she is totally comfortable with her nudity. Her hand both covers and draws attention to her genitals. Her dog, a traditional symbol of both fidelity and lust, sleeps lazily on the white sheets at her feet. She may be, ambiguously, either a courtesan or a bride. In either case she is, primarily, an object of desire.
2. Students’ arguments about high art depicting sexuality and pornography will vary.
