Birth Of Venus painting By Shashi Kant Nag

Mythological Nature of painting

By Shashi Kant Nag

-----Venus is in the process of landing. It should be pointed out that the shore she is landing on is very rugged and already has tall trees, both laurel and myrtle, and that the trees are crowded together, their foliage obscuring one another. For the men of the Renaissance (Italy in 15th Century), the mythology of the Greeks and Romans represented a superior form of truth and wisdom.

 Whilst Botticelli carried out the artwork; But this art work has Purely Indian soul and essence with Reference of Our Mythological Nature, as we know the story of APSARA “Rambha’. She is often asked by the king of the Devas, INDRA to break the Tapsya of sages so that the purity of their penance is tested against temptation, and also that the order of the three worlds remains undisturbed by any one man's mystical powers. 

When she tries to disturb the penance of Rishi Vishwamitra (who is doing it to become a Brahmarishi), she is cursed by him to become a rock for 10,000 years till a Brahmin delivers her from the curse.
