Venus stands on a scallop shell with her red-gold hair falling to her knees, blown ashore by two entwined wind gods on the left while a Hora on the right holds out a flowered cloak. Botticelli painted it around 1485; the sea beneath is pale green, the myrtle trees behind almost black.
That sea takes up a third of the picture in flat grey-green marked only by small white ripples, so leave it until the figures are in. Finished size 73.7 x 50.8cm.
Classic Renaissance painting with varied textures in skin, drapery and sea, though some areas of similar blue-green tones in the water and sky add moderate challenge.
