"She arrives by sea, standing on a seashell, carried by the wind."

History of the artwork

Sandro Botticelli painted The Birth of Venus around 1485, probably for the Medici family. The goddess approaches the shore standing on a conch, pushed by Zephyr, while one of the Hours comes forward to cover her with a floral cloak.

It is one of the first major Renaissance canvases to depict a female nude on a non-religious subject. Botticelli painted on canvas and not on wood, with a lightened tempera that gives the whole its pale transparency. The work is kept in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
