Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli
According to this reading of the painting, the scene was inspired by the text in an Homeric hymn published in Florence in 1488 by the Greek refugee Demetrios Chalcondyles:
- Of august gold-wreathed and beautiful
- Aphrodite I shall sing to whose domain
- belong the battlements of all sea-loved
- Cyprus where, blown by the moist breath
- of Zephyros, she was carried over the
- waves of the resounding sea on soft foam.
- The gold-filleted Horae happily welcomed
- her and clothed her with heavenly raiment.
Hey there, Hello! Courtney is the name, 21 is the age!
I am presently moving around a lot to place to place, from toronto to BC back to toronto and hopefully soon back to BC haha. I am a person who loves life and mostly Art and Traveling. I am a very random person, but with a huge heart. You may find I will disappear from time to time, however I make it up by raping this page full of who knows what in moments of boredom. I love art. No art is my life! colour amazes me. People amaze me. Ads amuse me.
Nothing much more to say but Welcome to my thoughts (and thoughts taken from other people haha).
Warning: Spelling and grammer may be altered within this page.
