(b. 1445, Firenze, d. 1510, Firenze)

The Birth of Venus (detail) c. 1485 Tempera on canvas Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

The high modelling of the white shimmering flesh colour gives Venus the appearance of a statue. Botticelli has gone over the contours with a black line, causing them to stand out sharply from the surface of the picture and lending them a curious coldness and clarity.
