The multiple subjects convey an abundance of emotions, with each character’s eyes wandering somewhere different. Despite the surplus amount of humans, Venus acts as the main subject. Venus is the god of love, sex, beauty, and fertility. Although Venus is the same shape and size of the other women, she stands out to me. Her position is higher above the other humans, which portrays status. Boucher also plays with light by illuminating Venus. Dolphins, nymphs, and cupids bombard and honor Venus. According to Greek mythology, Venus was born in the sea out of a clam. In the painting, Venus receives pearls inside of a clam, which alludes to her birth. Boucher honors and pays tribute to Venus’s beauty and love. The notions of love and nature perfectly contribute to the Rococo movement.

Boucher paints his well-known circular motions in Triumph of Venus. The circular motions are displayed in the fabrics held by the cupids. Boucher includes both wind and wave circular motion. The waves creates drama with circular motion. The motion continues towards the top of the canvas up the sharp cliff. The circular brushstroke make Venus the center of the movement. Furthermore, Boucher’s circular brush stroke movements pays tribute to Venus. 

Boucher plays with light and dark. The dark waters complement and place a glowing effect on Venus and the other naked humans. The lighter complexion of the human’s skin makes them stand out from the darker waters. The light and dark clouds distinguishably set a horizontal separation of the painting. The light and dark blue colors create a distinct composition of the landscape. The delicate blues in the waters and clouds set a satisfying and lighthearted tone. The light blues contribute to the playful Rococo qualities. Boucher plays with fantasy and imagination. Boucher perfectly combines traditional mythology with a twist of playfulness and sexual elements.
