Botticelli’s Venus (Simonetta Vespucci)

Happy Valentines day! It’s only fitting to do Venus from Botticelli’s famous “The Birth of Venus”, painted during the height of the Italian Renaissance. The model for Venus is the gorgeous Simonetta Vespucci, one of the artist’s muses. I think she’s one of the most beautiful women ever painted - do you think anyone tops her? Swipe to see a sneak peak of the creation video for this one, which is now live for Patreon supporters!
