Relief Birth of Venus, reproduction inspired by the Ludovisi Throne stone, located in the National Roman Museum at the Palazzo Altemps in Rome, Italy. The main panel is titled: “Aphrodite Rising from the Sea.”

In classical mythology, Venus, identified in Rome with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The myth tells of Venus’s birth from the waters, emerging from the foam generated by the fall into the sea of the genitals of the sky god, Uranus, mutilated by his son Cronus-Saturn. The aquatic origin of the goddess highlights Venus’s connection with water as a symbol of fertility, regeneration, and life. Venus was represented with symbolic attributes such as the rose and the mirror, and animals such as the dove or the swan, and represents love in all its facets, ranging from universal harmony to human desire and passion, beauty, and seduction.

Venus is attributed with loves with various lovers, both divine and human, from Vulcan, the god of blacksmiths and fire, her legitimate husband, or his brother, Mars, the god of war, to mortals such as the beautiful Adonis, for whose death she descended to Hades, or the Trojan prince Anchises, from whom she begot Aeneas, considered by the Romans as her mythical ancestor.

Decorating with reproductions of classical reliefs inspired by Greco-Roman Antiquity offers us the opportunity to achieve a unique fusion of history and art in our home.
