Framed Aphrodite Artwork
A Greek goddess of love and beauty, presented in many old Greek stories and myths. The myth about her says that she was made out of the “foam” of the sea. Her beauty was immense and she was desired by many Gods on Olympus.
Her marriage to the blacksmith god Hephaestus allowed her to get a tiara from him that made her even more irresistible to other men and gods. Because of her beauty and her nature, she had many lovers, among which were the warlike god Ares and beautiful Adonis.
In Roman mythology, Aphrodite’s equivalent was Venus. A large number of painters were amazed by Aphrodite, so she was artistically presented in her full beauty, mysterious, yet so desirable. If you are looking to add a feeling of romance or beauty to your home, a framed Aphrodite print can add that special touch of style and sophistication you desire.
“The judgment of Paris” myth, including Aphrodite, Athena and Hera, was painted in many different styles by many famous painters. Peter Paul Rubens was so amazed by that myth, that he portrayed it in two pictures through a span of a few years. One of those pictures was ordered to be burned for its immodesty, but that order was never carried out. Her beauty was so unreal, that even the famous Salvador Dali found inspiration in her and presented her face in the image of his surrealistic landscapes.
Paintings of Aphrodite are valued by people that really want to see the immense beauty of women presented in regular settings. The beauty and the desire that Aphrodite spread around was captivating to the beholders, so she was the first thing of inspiration for Ancient Greeks that were creating with love.
