Product Description

Titled 'La Femme,' the Neoclassical Pop Art artwork takes its cue from Sandro Botticelli's landmark painting "The Birth of Venus," created c. 1485 and now currently located at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

 

Sandro Botticelli, 1445-1510, stands among the most significant Florentine Painters. A milestone of the 15th century Italian Renaissance, The Birth of Venus is perhaps the best-loved Italian show-stopper of the period.

 

Its story begins with the Greek myth of Kronos and Uranus. In return, Venus, the Goddess of Love and beauty, rises as a fully formed mature woman from the foam of a cresting wave and is carried on a shell drifting to shore in Cyprus.

 

Botticelli enriches the myth further, with the mythological Greek gods of the winds blowing Venus toward the shore.

 

Many connect Venus with the model Simonetta Vespucci, Florence's emblem of feminine beauty.

 

Generations of Pop Culture artists, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Lady Gaga and Beyonce among them, have drawn on Botticelli's feminine beauty, style, appeal and divine glam, down to Venus' hairstyle.

 

For Botticelli, Venus is an icon of love and a wellspring of spiritual development and inner beauty, an idea drawn from Plato's philosophy: contemplating an object of beauty helps the mind settle into a meditative state of harmony and love.

 

Commissioned by the Medici Family, a major patron of Botticelli, the work is said to have hung above their marital bed, daring for the time, and it still makes perfect wall art to finish a bedroom, though Venus brings her blessings of love anywhere.

 

Created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio as a contemporary print. Here the old masters meet pop culture in a collectible statement piece made for true art lovers.
