"The Birth of Venus" is a work of Sandro Botticelli from the early renaissance.
    The compositions in the works of Sandro Botticelli are reminiscent of those of the Middle ages. Although he was skilled in depicting perspective, the things he drew were deliberately against correct scale or perspective. The lines and the shining colors are part of his unique language, which communicates religious conviction, gentleness, and a sense of melancholy in his paintings.
    "The Birth of Venus", which was made to decorate Lorenzo de Medici''''s home, is one of Botticelli''''s most famed works. What we see here, is a 19th century copy. Venus is one of the most well-known goddesses in ancient Greece myths. She is the goddess of love and beauty. In the Myth, Venus was born from a shell; the shell flowed to the Cypriot island. Venus was then born off the Cypriot seacoast. At the time she was born, beautiful rays illuminated the entire seacoast. The picture is just showing the birth of Venus. She stands in the shell, her golden hair flying with the wind, as if concealing her beautiful body. At the top left-hand of the paintings is the God of the West Wind Zephyr and his wife, Goddess of flowers, Flora. The God of wind blows Venus toward the shore, and the Goddess of flowers spreads flowers for her. On the right, another goddess holds exquisite silk clothes for her. Venus, who was famed for beauty and charm, was drawn with a melancholy expression. Her deep eyes and tranquility are more attractive than her elegant body.
