The Birth of Venus

Description

The Birth of Venus

Title: The Birth of Venus

Artist : Original Artist Sandro Botticelli, 1483 – 1485

About:

The original painting was commissioned by Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, a cousin of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The theme was probably suggested by the humanist Poliziano.

It depicts Venus born from the sea foam, blown by the west wind, Zephyr, and the nymph, Chloris, towards one of the Horai, who prepares to dress her with a flowered mantle.

This universal icon of Western painting was probably painted around 1484 for the villa of Castello owned by Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de ‘Medici. Giorgio Vasari saw the work there in the mid-sixteenth century – along with Botticelli’s other well-known Primavera – and described it precisely as “showing the Birth of Venus.”

The old idea that the two Botticelli masterpieces were created for the same occasion, in spite of their substantial technical and stylistic diversity, is no longer accepted.

However, rather than a birth, what we see is the goddess landing on the shore of her homeland, the island of Cyprus, or on Kithara.
