Keywords: Birth of Venus Botticelli.jpg This image derives from an image which also appears on this page In this version intensity of the colouration has been lowered overall from the reproduction from which it was derived The reason for so doing was that the entire colour scheme of that file had been intensified perhaps digitally or perhaps by the process of reproduction giving a quality to the image that is not in keeping with the work itself or with the nature of the tempera medium Once the colour intensity is slightly lowered as per the main image here the subtleties of colouration ie the fact that a number of different blue pigments have been used by the artist and the subtleties of tonality light and shade become apparent The detail throughout the entire work is thereby enhanced without any resort to digital sharpening La nascita di Venere Botticelli jpg PD-old-100 Details <gallery> Image Sandro Botticelli 047 jpg detail Image Sandro Botticelli 048 jpg detail Image Sandro Botticelli 049 jpg detail </gallery> DEFAULTSORT Image 1485 Sandro Botticelli - Birth of Venus jpg2 The Birth of Venus Botticelli |
