4 1/2" round ball glass Christmas ornament of Sandro Bottichelli's masterpiece Birth of Venus. On as white background and through a white film the iconic image of the beautiful Venus, the Goddess of Beauty, love & sexuality is painted. Her brown reddish hair flowing in the wind and her hand on her breast, like her hallow predecessors, the Greek sculpture Benus. The painting was done in 1486 as a commission for the Medici, and today is one of the most well known and iconic images of all art. The ornament is signed on the back with Bottichellis's signature.
