Venus Anadyomene c. 1751 - 1790

Stefano Mulinari's "Venus Anadyomene" is a 18th-century etching depicting the Roman goddess of love emerging from the sea. This print showcases Mulinari's mastery of line and detail, capturing Venus's delicate form as she gracefully emerges from a scallop shell, surrounded by doves and a sea-goat. The artist uses shading to create a sense of depth and dimension, emphasizing the soft curves of the goddess's body. The intricate details of the doves and sea-goat, along with the swirling lines representing water, add to the overall sense of motion and ethereal beauty.
