Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 13.5 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 15.9 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 39.4 × 63 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Botticelli's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 180 × 280 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Sandro Botticelli’s "The Birth of Venus," painted around 1485, is a masterful and enchanting exploration of mythological beauty, housed in the Uffizi Gallery. The painting is an allegory of the birth of love and spiritual beauty as depicted through the emergence of Venus from the sea. Central to the composition is the figure of Venus, standing gracefully on a giant shell, her form epitomizing classical beauty. She is depicted nude, her long, golden hair cascading down to cover her modesty, her expression serene and slightly detached, embodying an otherworldly grace.

To the left, we see the wind gods, Zephyrus and Aura, enveloped in a swirling embrace, their breath creating a shower of roses that fall around Venus, enhancing the painting’s lyrical quality. The figures’ dynamic movement contrasts with Venus’s calm poise, adding a sense of energy and movement to the scene.

On the right, the nymph Hora of Spring rushes forward to cover Venus with a luxurious cloak adorned with flowers. This figure is captured in mid-motion, her flowing robes and outstretched arms adding to the sense of urgency and reverence in the act of clothing the goddess.

The background, with its gentle waves and lush, wooded coastline, serves as a serene backdrop that emphasizes the ethereal quality of the scene. Botticelli’s use of delicate lines and soft colors creates a harmonious and dreamlike atmosphere. The painting is not just a depiction of a myth, but a celebration of divine beauty and an embodiment of the Neoplatonic ideal, where physical beauty reflects spiritual beauty.
