Laurence Koe (1869-1913), ‘Venus and Tannhäuser’, “Royal Academy Pictures”, 1896 Source “The title Venus and Tannhäuser alludes to a Germanic legend that became a popular subject in art following the success of Richard Wagner’s opera Tannhäuser from 1845. It is also possible that Koe knew the 1866 poem Laus Veneris (In Praise of Venus) by the British poet Algernon Charles Swinburne, which was inspired by Wagner’s opera. Koe depicts the 13th century Minnesinger and poet Tannhäuser as he is trying to resist the temptations of Venus, the goddess he had been worshipping for a year. He is avoiding her gaze and touch and embodies chivalric strength and restraint, but he cannot escape the intoxicating scent of the flowers, symbolic of Venus herself.” (Source)
