Detailed description
Picture "The Birth of Venus" (1484/86), framed
The Birth of Venus is the first life-size depiction of a pagan goddess of his time. Botticelli conceives it as an allegory of spring, which reaches the Italian shores in the form of Venus. The west wind Zephyr, embraced by the flower-giving nymph Chloris, drives her into the arms of the corresponding Hora (goddesses of the seasons), who hands her an exceedingly ornate robe.
Original: 1484/86, tempera on canvas, 172.5 x 278.5 cm, Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence.
Brilliant reproduction in Fine Art Giclée print on artist's canvas, mounted on a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 499 copies, numbered on the back and with certificate. Framed in a handmade, golden solid wood frame. Size 60 x 90 cm (h/w). Exclusively at ars mundi.

Sehr detailreich und hochwertig ausgeführte Reproduktion des Renaissancegemäldes von Botticelli. Ich überlege gerade ob ich mir das kongeniale Gegenstück "La Primavera" ebenfalls beschaffe.

About Sandro Botticelli
1445-1510
Born in 1445 as the son of a tanner, Alessandro de Mariano Filipepi, known as Botticelli, rose to become one of the Medici's most sought-after artists at a young age. The nickname Botticello means "the little barrel". He became one of the great representatives of the early Renaissance.
As a portrait artist, he depicted the most famous Florentine nobles, leaving a lasting mark on the image of the time of Lorenzo the Magnificent. As a painter of religious subjects, he left behind a wide-ranging oeuvre. But above all, he was groundbreaking in his incorporation of allegorical elements into art and introducing his new form of representation of female portraiture, the most famous of which - the "Idealised Portrait of a Lady" - has been the cause of much speculation for centuries. Yet some of the female figures in Sandro Botticelli's work were inspired by the same real model: Simonetta Vespucci, the ideal of beauty of her time. The allusions are unmistakable in the "Idealised Portrait of a Lady", but some people also believe to recognise her features in the painting "The Birth of Venus".

Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
(Rebirth). Term used to describe art from around 1350 until the 16th century.
Beginning in Florence, by the late 14th century, a mindset developed that, in retrospect, was classified as the rebirth of the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Renaissance spread first through Italy and then across Western Europe, influencing the entire artistic creation. Brilliant artists such as Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dürer, Holbein, Cranach and Fouquet created their immortal works by following the humanistic premises and placing the human being in the centre of all thinking.
In literature, the Renaissance reached its pinnacle through the dramatic works of William Shakespeare.
By the end of the 16th century, the Renaissance had to give way to the opulence of the Baroque, before its ideas experienced a rebirth in the Classicism of the 18th century.
