VENUS UNCOVERED: ANCIENT GODDESS OF LOVE
"Ancient Goddess of Love"
Directed by Mary Cranitch
In 1914, the suffragette Mary Richardson attacked the Rokeby Venus at the National Gallery in London. But why did this painting fire such outrage? Professor Bettany Hughes embarks on a voyage of discovery to reveal the truth behind the Venus depicted in the painting, proving that this mythological figure is so much more than just an excuse for sensual nudity and chocolate-box romance.
