Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. Referred to as the "Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, this composition actually portrays the goddess of love and beauty's arrival on land, specifically on the island of Cyprus. She is born from the sea spray and carried ashore by the winds, Zephyr and, possibly, Aura. Venus stands gracefully upon a colossal scallop shell, radiating purity and perfection akin to a pearl. Her presence is met by a young woman, sometimes identified as one of the Graces or as the Hora of spring, extending a cloak adorned with flowers. Even the roses, borne by the wind, symbolize the arrival of spring. The subject of this painting, celebrating Venus as the symbol of love and beauty, is believed to have been inspired by the poet Agnolo Poliziano. It is highly likely that this work was commissioned by a member of the Medici family, although there are no records of the painting until 1550, when Giorgio Vasari described it in the Medici's Villa of Castello. Botticelli draws inspiration from classical sculptures for Venus's modest posture, as she veils her nudity with her long, golden hair, which gleams with gilded highlights. Even the depiction of the Winds, shown embracing one another in mid-air, is influenced by an ancient work—a Hellenistic gem once owned by Lorenzo the Magnificent.
