"The Birth of Venus" is one of the most famous works of Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. It was a tempera on canvas created in 1487 for a distant brother of the Medici family, ruler of Florence. This work is based on Poliziano’s long poem Giostner, and describes the birth of the goddess Venus from the sea in Roman mythology: she steps naked on a shell, and the goddess of spring on the right is serving She put on a Chinese dress and the Fengshen on the left sent a warm gust of wind blowing her hair. The picture shows a beautiful legend in Sicily: a beautiful large shell floating on the rippling blue sea, on which stands the pure and beautiful Venus, the wind god soaring in the sky gently blows the shell to the shore At the same time, the Goddess of Spring waiting on the shore was opening a red embroidered cloak, preparing to put on a new outfit for Venus. Venus was slender, with a beautiful face, staring into the distance, eyes full of fantasy, confusion and sadness. It embodies the philosophical trend of neo-Platonism popular in Florence: beauty cannot be gradually perfected or produced from non-beauty. Beauty can only be self-fulfilled. It is incomparable, and beauty is eternal. In the early Renaissance, around the beginning of this painting, the subject matter of the painting changed from biblical stories to Greek and Roman mythology, that is, from religion to pagan subject matter. The proportions of the characters are wrong, the neck is longer, the lower body is larger, and the shoulders are also narrow and collapsed. It is precisely to make her body line more beautiful and neglect the normal form that should be. The painter pays more attention to feeling than proportion. Less light and dark performance, so that the clothes worn by the characters have a soft, light feeling. This work is now in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
