Product Description

Earth pigments with a blush lift. The Neoclassical Pop Art tribute keeps the earth pigments close to the source and adds a red that only Pop would dare, making a new image. Pink, red and ocher keep the goddess grounded while the red adds a contemporary edge.

“La Femme: Venus, Reborn” in pink, red and ocher is Neoclassical Pop Art's earth-pigment tribute to “The Birth of Venus”, the landmark painting Sandro Botticelli created c. 1485, now at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The red gives the Renaissance figure its contemporary edge.

Sandro Botticelli, 1445-1510, was one of the most significant Florentine Painters. The painting is regarded as a milestone and perhaps the most appreciated mainstream Italian show-stopper masterpiece that defines the pith of the 15th century Italian Renaissance.

The story comes from 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.

Adding to the myth, Botticelli portrays Venus blown to the shore by the mythological Greek gods of the winds.

The portrait of Venus is related to the model Simonetta Vespucci, who pondered a figure of feminine beauty all through Florence.

Botticelli's attention to the feminine beauty, style, appeal, and divine glam, highlighted by the illustration of Venus' hairstyle, inspired generations of Pop Culture artists amongst Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce.

Botticelli promotes Venus as an icon of love, a wellspring for spiritual development and inner beauty, an idea derived from Plato's philosophy, contending that the contemplation on the object of beauty triggers the brain's subconscious and conscious activity to more easily attain a meditative state of harmony and love.

The artwork, initially commissioned by the Medici Family, a major patron of Botticelli, was loomed over the family marital bed, a daring act for that time that still makes it a perfect wall art to finish your bedroom interior design however, Venus bring her blessings of love to any space.

A contemporary print, created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio.

Warmth first, myth on the second look.

Made for true art lovers, it is a collectible statement piece where the old masters meet pop culture.
