The Birth of Venus remains the definitive Renaissance icon of feminine grace, drawing 5.7 million annual visitors to Florence's Uffizi Gallery and single-handedly driving a significant portion of that traffic. Botticelli's tempera masterpiece (c.1484-86) portrays Venus emerging from the sea, revolutionizing artistic ideals for 500 years.
