Artwork Story

“The Birth of Venus,” painted by Botticelli around 1485, illustrates the mythological moment when Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, emerges from the sea. She stands on a giant shell, guided to shore by Zephyr and Aura, while the Hora of Spring awaits with a floral cloak. The painting’s graceful lines and soft hues reflect the Renaissance admiration for classical beauty.
