2013-10-05 // 07:21:51 Antonioni Your well crafted portrait is so like a painting by the Florence master Sandro Botticelli, after his master work "The Birth of Venus" around 1480; here we see in a later work, "Venus Ecorce" with a mature style Botticelli is now handling drapery in a more inventive way with very shear garments, and a naturalistic manner in the detail in both the floral bouquet that Venus is carrying, and in the ecorce or bark of the tree behind Venus, the artist is showing interesting detail and providing contrast against Venus' soft smooth complexion.now in this latter work, we see Venus, no longer a goddess hovering above a half shell with her attendants at her birth. Now Venus is portrayed as a modern young mortal woman and is shown standing, fully erect, walking through a modern city park on her way out for a night on the town dressed in designer evening ware.
