About The Renaissance of Venus Walter Crane Renaissance Painting
Crane was inspired by Botticelli’s painting Birth of Venus from the 1480s. The compositions are similar. Both show Venus, the Roman goddess of love, emerging from the sea after her birth as a fully-grown woman. Like Botticelli, Crane painted with tempera, a medium made from coloured pigment and egg yolk. At his wife Mary's request, rather than draw from a female model, Crane used a male model, Alessandro di Marco, for the body of Venus.
