ROYAL RUDOLSTADT GERMANY Porcelain
Nude Aphrodite Goddess on a Shell
GOLD EVERYWHERE
"GOLDEN APHRODITE"
The eye-catching use of GOLD in the painting of the goddess (“Birth of Venus”) known by “Golden Aphrodite” indicates the artist’s familiarity with the ancient Greek texts such as the well known “Homeric Hymn” dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite. In the hymn the word "GOLD" is used many times to describe the goddess as richly adorned in GOLD.
Botticelli uses gold in similar abundance to embellish her beauty. Not only is he familiar with the hymn but the story of her birth and ancient depiction of her rising from the ocean on a scalloped shell
GOLD is used to decorate the trunks and leaves of the trees with Contours & highlights of GOLD on the Shell carrying The Goddess
