This Venus sculpture, thought to have been created about 25 thousand years ago, was found by Johann Veran in the Austrian town of Willendorf.
For this reason, the name is called Venus of Willendorf.
The size of the work is approximately 11 cm.
Since it is made of limestone, it maintains its shape until it is almost unbroken.
A naked and fat woman exhibits figurine.
It's a debate that this female figurine represents fertility.
When you look at the statue, the female figurine's breasts and sexual organs are exaggerated.
'' The artist took particular care to emphasize every breast, which some scholars suggest that she is able to nurse a child ''.
On the other hand, there are very little or none of the women's non-production parts.
The feet are quite small and uncertain.
Artist has not created any nose, eyes, mouth.
There is a pattern in the head instead.
It is being debated whether this pattern could be a hair braid or a headpiece used at that time.
At the same time, it is also said that there might be a work representing all women, rather than a specific person since there is no portraiture.
This work is also one of the drawbacks of obesity.
When the woman was depicted, an almost obese figure appeared.
There is a beauty pattern created for women throughout history.
There have been a lot of efforts for this.
For example, in the past, women used to wear corsets, uncomfortable clothes, women who were away from the sun to be white-skinned, etc., to have a twisted body.
Today, especially young girls are even sick to lose weight.
How much has the sense of beauty changed?
What do you think about it?
