EL NACIMIENTO DE VENUS
El Nacimiento de Venus (The Birth of Venus) (1485 or 1486) is one of my favorite piece of art.
Sandro Botticelli is the author and is said to have been painted commissioned by Lorenzo Pierfrancesco (de Medici). Some experts think that was made commemorating the love of Giuliano di Piero de Medici and Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci.
Besides all the symbolism that represents, and the scenes that inspired in films and television, is a work with a special beauty, especially when we look at the details.
I always thought it was very special image of this work, and years later to meet for the first time I understood why: In addition to its beauty, Venus represents the thinking of Plato, who said that human should found the unity between beauty, love and truth.
Not always the beauty is everything, and sometimes somebody is more beautiful when you see with the eyes of love.
But none of this makes sense if it is not present the truth, honesty in all aspects of life.
