Descripción:

There is no doubt that 'Aphrodite - Venus' is the most famous character of the Greek-Roman pantheon in art history. The quantitative analysis of her depiction in art from the Renaissance to the present time is a contribution to the history of mythological themes in artistic production.
This is the third post about simple descriptive statistics of data extracted from a digital Thematic Research Collection of 10,671 artworks of 3,880 identified artists born in four European regions who depicted 'Aphrodite - Venus' from the Middle Ages to Modern Times (1).
