The added information discusses how the artist portrayed Venus and the potential hidden meanings in the painting. It adds another layer to the discussion but focuses more on the romantic and sensual aspects, which is a bit different from the original content that talked about the history and stories related to the artwork. Both types of information are good to have.

The information about the sexual meaning of the painting, which is supported by citations from various authors, remains subjective in the sense that it represents specific interpretations of the artwork. Art history often involves varying viewpoints, and the fact that multiple authors are cited in support of these interpretations demonstrates that there is indeed a range of opinions within the field. The information is written quite well, but it could be more careful when talking about things that might be seen as controversial such as masturbation.

Make sure that there is consistency in the use of commas and periods, especially in long sentences. For example, you can consider revising this sentence for clarity: "The art historian Millard Meiss comments on Venus' arm's gestures; he suggests that her right arm, which is bent over her head, is linked to the Greco-Roman gesture of sleep which was commonly used when depicting nymphs, fauns, and cupids."

The new information brings in more ideas about the meaning behind Sleeping Venus, giving readers different ways to understand it. All sources are up to date as well which is good for readers who want to dive deeper into specific interpretation’s of the painting.
