What is the significance of the Birth of Venus?
I have to make three separate points about the significance or themes of the Birth of Venus for a school project. I have one point- that it was a rebirth of Classical mythology. What is the significance of the Birth of Venus, and what other themes are found in the painting?

I'd say I am quite unsure, I am not that great in Art, but with my small remembrance of what I did in History stduying the Renaissance, I do believe the "Birth of Venus" may of played a birth in the role of beauty, physically. In physically, I mean the art of beauty of the naked perfect body such as the Ancient Greeks and Romans thought of, they built statues of excellent bodies - physical beauty. EDIT: Forgot to add, the backgroudn info, that after the sack of the Roman Empire, culture was barbaric - thus physical beauty was shunned till the renaissance. A "rebirth".
