Sandro Botticelli was born in Florence. He was part of the Florentine school whose patron was Lorenzo de Medici. The Birth of Venus illustrates the goddess being born fully-grown from the sea arriving on a sea shell. Zephyr blows her to shore. Emulating classical sculpture, she appears nude but modest covering herself.
