This collection contains exclusively artwork based on the paintings of Sandro Botticelli, the great master of the Renaissance era. Almost all of them are VARIATIONS of the "The Birth of VENUS" painted in 1484. As you can see, there is a huge variety of styles and techniques used by the artists. If you are not in the collection and want to join, just write a comment with a link to your variation... In May 2010, it will be the 500th year from Botticelli's death. I hope we will have a party to celebrate Venus :-) The following artists already replied : :icongreta-heron: :iconjampura: :iconnephtis: :icondukecrescent: :icondarthhell: :icondreamweaver69: :iconmelissasixma: :icondmarling: :iconphillygino: :iconcloss: :iconcherryvallance: :iconautumnsgoddess: :iconhermitsrme: :iconmitia-arcturus: :iconelen-ameli-lin: :iconcharlyhorsekills: :iconstar-of-the-sea: :iconchaitanyak: :iconart-of-sekhmet: :iconchrispjones: :iconalanarmstrong: :iconstephanusembricanus: :iconsatin1: :iconivan-bliznak: :iconrascal56: :icondeadagainchristian: :iconivanraposo: :iconwarkanoego: Thank you all to be there and long memory to our master Botticelli !
