The Birth of Venus
William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1879
Oil on canvas
300 × 218 cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France.
One of my favorite versions of the Birth of Venus is this one by the French Academic painter Bouguereau.
Bouguereau used his influence to open many French art institutions to women for the first time, including the Académie française.
