Venus Anadyomene 1848

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres's "Venus Anadyomene" (1848) is a neoclassical painting depicting the goddess Venus emerging from the sea. The scene is a reinterpretation of the famous Greek myth of Venus rising from the foam, emphasizing the graceful lines of the goddess's body. Surrounded by playful cupids and set against a serene seascape, Ingres’s painting captures the idealized beauty of the Renaissance, while showcasing the artist's renowned skill in depicting the human form. It is currently housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France.
