"The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, 1484-86, via Wikipedia (face of Venus detail above)
Graceful, ethereal, romantic, mysterious. The women of Sandro
Botticelli’s paintings from the Italian Renaissance continue to awe and inspire
art lovers and fashion designers. Centuries since women like Venus were
depicted on the 15th century canvases, the paintings’ power to
enthrall remains.
