Leonardo sets the scene in a garden enclosed by a wall, referring to the concept of “hortus conclusus” or closed garden, symbol of Mary’s virginity. Note the traditional position of the angel who, coming down from the left, kneels in front of Mary and hands her the lily as a symbol of purity.

Join us on Patreon - "The Birth of Venus" is one of Botticelli's greatest creations. It represents a universal ideal of female beauty and has been reproduced countless times throughout the world. Contrary to its name, the birth of Venus is not represented in the picture, but instead her arrival on the island of Cyprus. The scene is inspired by the writings of Agnolo Poliziano, poet of the Neoplatonic Academy, and is based on the stories of the mythical poets Hesiod and Homer, rediscovered by Renaissance culture. Discover the myths behind the painting.
