About the piece
Created around 1635, Nicolas Poussin’s The Birth of Venus is a quintessential example of French Baroque classicism, renowned for its rhythmic composition and rich, jewel-toned palette. The work captures the goddess being heralded by Neptune and a jubilant retinue of nymphs and tritons, while a host of winged putti descend from the clouds to shower her in blossoms.
