The Birth of Venus by Botticelli

The Birth of Venus, a painting of AD 1486 by Sandro Botticelli, depicts the goddess Venus, having emerged from the sea as a full grown woman, arriving at the seashore. The painting, tempera on canvas (dimensions: 172.5 cm × 278.5 cm / 67.9 in × 109.6 in), is held in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Venus is a Roman goddess associated with love, beauty and fertility. Venus played a key role in Roman religious festivals and mythology. From third century BC, the Hellenization of Roman upper classes identified her as the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
The Birth of Venus, now among the most familiar masterpieces of Florentine art, is the work of Sandro Botticelli (c 1445 - May 17, 1510), an Italian painter of the Florentine school during the Early Renaissance period.
