History Art / TheBirthOfVenusBouguereau

* TheBurlesqueOfVenus: While the position is way more relaxed, Venus is still standing on a (smaller) seashell in a ContrappostoPose and has minor deities surrounding her --although, in this case, it's Myth/{{Psyche|AndCupid}} and unidentified {{putt|o}}i, nymphs, and centaurs. Moreover, they aren't blowing her to the shore but worshipping her.

* ContrappostoPose: Venus is shifting most of her weight on her left leg as a result of fixing her long mane of hair. It's also to display her femininity. Unlike [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli its predecessor]], she is slightly more relaxed and casual.

Not to be confused with the [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli Botticelli]] and [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusCabanel Cabanel]] paintings of the same name.

* OurNymphsAreDifferent: Also from Classical Mythology, the three nymphs illustrated are nereids/oceanids. Nymphs whose domain is the ocean and, as a result, can effortlessly swim long distances. They appear here to attend Venus' birth.

* LoveGoddess: The painting's central figure is the Roman goddess of love. The piece makes this evident by showing the nymphs and centaurs around her in sheer shock and adoration at the sight of such a beautiful woman. As if they've fallen in love with her.

''The Birth of Venus'' (French: ''La Naissance de Vénus'') is one of the most famous paintings by 19th-century painter Creator/WilliamAdolpheBouguereau. It depicts not the actual birth of Venus from the sea, but her transportation in a shell as a fully mature woman from the sea to Paphos in Cyprus. She is considered the epitome of the Classical Greek and Roman ideal of the female form and beauty, on par with Art/VenusDeMilo.
