The Birth of Venus, dated between 1484-86, is a tempera on canvas measuring 184.5 x 285.5 cm.
This painting is part of the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and is mentioned in the Medici collections since 1550. However, the name of the person who commissioned the canvas is unknown.
The Birth of Venus is the last known work of a mythological subject. The composition is apparently balanced, but, obedient to the flow of the contours, the goddess’s nude figure disintegrates, composing an image of incomparable and haunting beauty.
Furthermore, if we consider that the only nude admitted in art was that of Eve, burdened by the weight of sin, we can realize the radical novelty of this image.
The composition depicts the arrival on the island of Cyprus of the goddess of love and beauty, born from the sea foam and driven by the winds Zephyr and Aura. The goddess Venus rests her feet on a shell as pure and perfect as a pearl.
While she is welcomed by a young woman, sometimes identified as one of the Graces, who offers her a cloak covered in flowers.
The theme of the painting, which celebrates Venus as a symbol of love and beauty, was perhaps suggested by the poet Agnolo Poliziano.
The composition is perfectly balanced: in the center, on a shell, Venus, born from the sea foam, under a shower of roses is pushed ashore by the breath of the winds Zephyr and Aura.
The Birth of Venus , dated between 1484-86, is a tempera on canvas measuring 184.3 x 285.5 cm and is preserved in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence .
The painting seems to translate into images on canvas some verses of the poet and humanist Poliziano:
“True the foam and true the sea you would say
and the niche is true and the blowing of winds;
you would see the goddess flash in her eyes,
and the stars laugh around and the elements..”
The composition is perfectly balanced on the central axis where, on a shell, Venus , born from the sea foam, under a rain of roses is pushed to the shore by the breath of the winds Zephyr and Aura.
On the beach, a young girl awaits her, ready to dress her in a purple cloak. A gust of wind ruffles the goddess’s hair and seems to oppose the girl’s action, billowing the cloak in the air.
The seascape is rendered with sinuous lines that echo the profile of the body.
Botticelli is certainly the most majestic example of the lyrical taste of fifteenth-century Florence .
His essentially musical conception is expressed above all in his line. It is soft and darting with elusive movements, enclosing perfect forms, intertwining and creating rhythms that, at a certain point, appear more sonic than visual.
This wonderful expressiveness of Botticelli’s form and line is what makes figures alive and perfect which, if attempted by another painter, would appear affected.
The nude Venus, inspired by classical sculpture in its pose, is constructed with a fluid line that highlights her profile. The harmony of the contours justifies the unnatural elongation of the figure. The colors are soft , uniformed by the use of a pearly egg white-based varnish and enriched by gilding (on the wings of the winds and on Venus’s hair).
The line and the lyrical narrative are already evident in this very famous early work by Botticelli.
Described by Vasari , who saw it in 1568 with the Primavera in the Medici Villa of Castello, as
«Venus who is born, and those breezes and winds that bring her to earth with the Loves».
the painting, exceptionally on canvas like the Pallas and the Centaur of the Uffizi , the Adoration of the Child Wemyss of Edinburgh, the Mystical Crucifixion of Cambridge and the Mystical Nativity of London, had to be executed, like the Primavera, for the villa itself, purchased in 1477 by Lorenzo and Giovanni di Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, on the advice of Lorenzo the Magnificent.
Indeed, the choice of lean tempera with egg white varnish for the Birth of Venus, certainly not accidental, was most likely motivated by the desire to evoke the clear, luminous surface of a fresco. The painting was intended for a villa later decorated with murals by Botticelli’s workshop in the 1490s.
In reality it is not precisely the birth of Venus, as Vasari claims, but rather the landing of the goddess , born from the sea and pushed onto the valve of
a large shell from Zephyr embracing the nymph Chloris.
