Botticelli - Birth of Venus


This artwork, named the Birth of Venus, was painted by Botticelli ca. 1486. Its medium is tempera on canvas. I like this picture because it depicted the revolution of art during Renaissance period in which the artist brought much humanism into the picture. The nudity of Venus is, a controversial elements during the artist's era, also a distinctive part of the drawing. In addition to that, the unique color and impeccable depth contributed to the beauty of the drawing.
