[vasiliquemort]

"In depth of his bewitching I felt secure and warm – I was in flowing haze that is muslin's and mistful milk of skies, and it rocked gently all my cells, and I flew into him as fallen drop, and it was weaved and volant kind of mutabors."

There is no tone of gratefulness and of adore that could suffice and form the shades that I behold to beauty that's demure and delicate and dulcet so, the one that came from @tmxpvksl and glory of their talents and abodes<зз

The Birth of Venus

I’ve been making posts where I dive into certain artworks depicting Lady Aphrodite (or Venus)! I’ve covered the Birth of Venus (Both the ones by Botticelli and Cabanel), Venus Victrix, Venus Anadyomene, and Venus Verticordia. Today’s painting is the Birth of Venus by Fragonard.

Fragonard

Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a French painter and printmaker, was born April 5, 1732 in Grasse, France and died August 22, 1806 in Paris at the age of 74. He painted in the Rococo style, with many of his paintings showing off his beliefs in hedonism. Fragonard painted more than 550 paintings in his lifetime, with notable works including The Swing, A Young Girl Reading, and The Bolt. Not much is known about many of his paintings.

Description of the Painting

Venus sits on a wave, tended to by many women. All appear to be nude, and some appear to have fish tails. Some hold flowers or shells, while most hold nothing.

About

The Birth of Venus was painted c. 1753-1755

Medium: oil on canvas

Dimensions: 54 cm × 83 cm (21 in × 33 in)

Located in the Musée Grobet-Labadié, Marseille

Hope you learned something! Let me know if there’s a painting you’d like to see.
