Replica inspired by the painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, realized in c. 1485., on plausible commission of the Medici family.
\nProduct in white resin and marble powder, made in Tuscany and finished by hand.
\nThe original painting is now housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi.<\/p>\n

Completed in 1485, commissioned by the Medici family, The Birth of Venus became one of the very symbols of pictorial art in Florence. Its production was influenced by the Neoplatonic philosophy so dear to Florence under Lorenzo de\u2019 Medici. Venus, in the centre of the work, is depicted in the pose of Venus Pudica as she attempts to cover herself. According to some, with Zephyrus and Aura on the left urging the goddess on with their breath and one of the Hours on the right offering her a richly embroidered cloak, the scene draws inspiration from one of the Stanze by Agnolo Poliziano \u2013 a friend of Botticelli and another prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Lorenzo the Magnificent. Other opinions hold that the Venus is a portrait of Simonetta Vespucci, a Genoese noblewoman married to the Florentine Marco Vespucci, considered one of the most beautiful women of the day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11513,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[123,113,106,125],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12302","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-collectable-items","7":"product_cat-collectable-items-for-gifts","8":"product_cat-gifts","9":"product_cat-sculptures","10":"desktop-align-left","11":"tablet-align-left","12":"mobile-align-left","13":"ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal","14":"ast-product-single-variable","15":"ast-product-tabs-layout-horizontal","16":"ast-qv-on-image","18":"first","19":"instock","20":"taxable","21":"shipping-taxable","22":"purchasable","23":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBIRTH OF VENUS - Gallerie degli Uffizi Shop<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.uffizi.it\/en\/products\/birth-of-venus\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BIRTH OF VENUS - Gallerie degli Uffizi Shop\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Replica inspired by the painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, realized in c. 1485., on plausible commission of the Medici family.
