One of my favorite paintings is the Nascita di Venere, otherwise known as The Birth of Venus. It was painted by Italian renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, c. 1486 and a simple photograph does not do it justice.
In 2007, I was lucky enough to visit the Uffizi Gallery in Florence which houses hundreds of breathtaking paintings and sculptures, including The Birth of Venus. I love art history and it is currently my mission to make it back there one day. I would love for my daughter to experience Italy the way I was able to.
