AURORA, artist unknown. New England, ca.
1820. Watercolor and gold paper collage on silk.
This picture, called Chariot in the Clouds in the
1930s, was more narrowly defined in the 1950s as Venus
Drawn by Doves on the assumption that the unidentified
goddess has some connection with the sailing ship. Aph-
rodite, assimilated into Roman mythology as Venus, was
said by Hesiod to have been born of the foam of the sea.
The Levantines believed she had the power to protect
ships on their voyages. However, two similar composi-
tions since discovered identify the figure as Aurora, god-
dess of the dawn. Known to the Greeks as Eos, Aurora
was usually depicted drawn by horses; research has not
yet revealed the circumstances by which she came to be
drawn by birds in these four closely related depictions.
