((Okay, dumb art question. I'm pretty sure I've seen the "Aphrodite Emerging from the Ocean" painting somewhere, but for the life of me I can't actually remember where... is that the same as the "Venus di Milo"... or is the Venus di Milo the one where she's missing her arms?

Anyway, I find the re-immagining of a very classic piece to be ingenious.))

I remember reading about that piece in my Art Appreciation class last semester. It was made as a symbol and tribute to the goddess, naturally, but it was highly believed that the sculptor did more than share his vision of Venus, but also claimed to have met the divine goddess herself and made that statue as a monument.

I must admit that is a nice furry version of the painting.

Yes, Yes! I agree.

I love the smooth, calm, color shade of the picture. And the shell, too. Looks fun to sit on. Or to stand on. :3

This is Venus di Milo ( " Venere" in Italy, "Aphrodite" in Greece) is this one:

The " Birth of Venus" ( Nascita di Venere in Italy) is this famous painting:

Did you ever seen the movie " The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" ?
In that movie you can see the Birth of Venus , performed by a young Uma Thurman Very Happy

Came across this tattooed Asian version!

Quote:
Illustrator: Steve Simpson
Title of Painting and Original Artist: The Birth of Venus (detail), Sandro Botticelli
Reason for choice: For some time I have been intrigued by how Botticelli played with the twists, kinks and curls of Venus’ hair, it’s very graphic and slightly cartoony. So when the chance of re-interpreting a masterpiece came along I was immediately drawn back to this incredible hair. Having chosen The Birth of Venus I needed to bring my own twist to it. I decided to use traditional Japanese woodblock prints as a style influence, it’s a million miles away from Botticelli’s early Renaissance work. From there, Venus morphed into a full body tattooed, geisha girl. As I worked on this I did wonder what Botticelli’s work would have looked like had he been born in Toyko rather than Florence.
