Product Description

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

 

Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was one of the most significant Florentine Painters. The Birth of Venus is a milestone: the much-loved Italian show-stopper that captures the pith of the 15th century Italian Renaissance.

 

The painting is inspired by 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 extends the myth, picturing Venus blown ashore by the mythological Greek gods of the winds.

 

The features of Venus are tied to the model Simonetta Vespucci, held up all through Florence as the ideal of feminine beauty.

 

Botticelli's feminine beauty, style, appeal and divine glam, highlighted in Venus' hairstyle, echo through generations of Pop Culture artists such as Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Lady Gaga and Beyonce.

 

Rooted in Plato's philosophy, Botticelli's Venus is an icon of love and a source of spiritual development and inner beauty, a reminder that contemplating beauty can lead the mind toward a meditative state of harmony and love.

 

A daring act for its time, the painting commissioned by the Medici Family, Botticelli's major patron, is said to have loomed over the family marital bed; it still finishes a bedroom as perfect wall art, and Venus blesses any space with love.

 

A contemporary print created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio. For true art lovers: a collectible statement piece in which the old masters meet pop culture.
