NPU 6: VENUS by BOTTICELLI

The Birth of Venus, (circa 1485) painting by Sandro Filipepi detto "il BOTTICELLI" (Florence 1445-1510).

The face of this young woman is my preferred portrait in all painted art: modern, essentail, idealized but still real, fresh, gentle, intelligent,... Whow.


The painting is now at the Uffizi in Florence and its quite large almost 3 meters.
