This is one of my favorite Renaissance paintings. It is call The Birth of Venus and was done in 1485 by Sandro Botticelli. Venus is the goddess of love and beauty and this painting depicts her first emerging from the sea on a shell and then being blown ashore by the wind gods. This is definitely a good example of some of the beautiful Renaissance art.
No blog about Renaissance paintings and art is complete without the famous painting of the Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda, by Leonardo da Vinci. This is most likely the Renaissance painting that is the most famous among everyday people. Practically everyone has heard of this painting. Although this Renaissance painting does not fall in my top list of Renaissance painting and art, I decided to include it simply because of its name recognition.
Hopefully you have all enjoyed my first real post of Renaissance paintings and art.
Thanks for sharing the nice post & Art.
