This painting is Titian's early work depicting the beauty of women. This stage is the period when he was intoxicated with giorgione style. The creation of this period emphasized the magnificence and harmony of human beings to a great extent. The style of painting is rough and bold, and the brushwork is vigorous. The elegant and implicit mental state and pure and noble quality of the characters themselves make the works have an idyllic artistic conception, which is quiet and beautiful.

It shows the opposition between lofty principles and low principles, marked by the convenient means of paysagemoralise. The background of Titian's works is also divided into two parts. In the twilight scene in the left part of the picture, there is a competitive city and two rabbits or rabbits (symbols of animal love and fertility), while the right part is dull but sunny. There are sheep and country churches.
In fact, we should interpret the name of Titian painting as two Venus. It shows that the "two Venus" mentioned by Ficino does not contain all the meanings of Ficino words.
Naked woman is "Venus in the sky", which symbolizes the universe and eternity, but it can be grasped through pure intellectuality. The woman in clothes is "Venus on the ground", which symbolizes a kind of "generating power".
This kind of power has created visible and tangible images of "beauty" in the world: people and animals, flowers and trees, gold and jewels, and works of art. Because of this, as Ficino said, these two women "deserve respect and appreciation in their own way."
Cupid between two Venus is closer to Venus on the ground or in nature. The behavior of mixing springs shows the belief of neo-Platonism. Love is not only the principle of "mixing" the universe, but also the intermediary between heaven and earth.
In Titian's paintings, the pool is an ancient sarcophagus, which was originally used to hold the remains, but now it has become the fountain of life. This fact only shows that the work emphasizes the concept of power generation mentioned by Ficino.
As for Florence's role in the development of neo-Platonism in northern Italy, Titian's paintings are innovative in all aspects, but in terms of image and composition, he has not cut off the connection with the previous tradition.
