Mug Venus Botticelli

The Birth of Venus by Italian artist Sandro Botticelli depicts the arrival of the goddess Venus, symbol of love and beauty, at the shore after her birth, when she had emerged from the sea fully-grown. The shell is blown by the west wind, Zephyr, and the nymph, Chloris (Aura), towards one of the Horai, who awaits with a flowered mantle.

Sandro Botticelli, born Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (c. 1445 –1510), was an Italian Early Renaissance painter. At the height of his fame, the Florentine painter and draughtsman was one of the most esteemed artists in Italy.
