The Birth of Venus is a painting created by Italian artist Sandro Botticelli in the mid-1480s. It depicts the Greek myth of the birth of Aphrodite (known to the Romans as Venus) from sea-foam. The goddess is depicted as a fully-grown nude woman, modestly covering her breasts and groin with her long red hair, as she floats to shore on a giant scallop shell with the aid of attending wind deities.
