I examine, in an art historical context, two TV advertising spots for Lindt brand chocolates. Using critical analysis of the gendered and erotic images depicted in these commercials, I study the manner in which Lindt's ad campaign appropriates sexuality (specifically, the female orgasm) in order to heighten the allure of their product. Several strands of art historical context are useful in establishing the heredity of the campaign's sensibilities. I treat, firstly, the long-standing cultural conflation of chocolate with sexuality (due to its supposed properties as an aphrodisiac), then examine prevailing cultural attitudes about the  female orgasm as it pertains to male/female sexual relations, and finally look as far into the past as the 16th century to analyze the factors that Titian's languishing Venus and Manet's courtesan "Olympia" have in common with the women in Lindt's commercials. I examine how the codified image of the sexually available woman is present in Lindt's ad campaign, and hope as my research develops to assess the effectiveness of the campaign itself due to the imagery involved. In this, I hope to broaden the scope of art criticism and context awareness to include everyday images (like advertisments). Though it may seem dubiously relevant to compare a modern commercial to works by Titian and Manet, I aim to show the linkage, visual and substantive, between these manifestations of the western visual tradition.
