The Birth of Venus
By Sandro Botticelli
Author Award for August 2024Beyond themes of Christianity, classical mythology was one of the most popular inspirations for Italian Renaissance art. "The Birth of Venus" is perhaps the most famous painting in this category. The painting shows the Roman goddess Venus emerging from the sea, born as a fully-grown adult.
The larger canvas of the painting was created by sewing together two smaller pieces of canvas before starting. Art historians disagree about who commissioned the painting, with some positing that a Medici was responsible, while others argue it only came into their possession later in its life.
