About this painting ...

The Birth of Venus is a painting by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel finished in 1863. It is housed in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. However, it is currently on tour and it part of an exhibit of French Impressionists at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889) painting 'Naissance de Venus' (The Birth of Venus), was shown at the Paris Salon in 1863, and was bought by Napoleon III for his own personal collection. That same year Cabanel was made a professor of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Cabanel's erotic imagery, cloaked in historicism, appealed to the propriety of the higher levels of society. Cabanel was a determined opponent of the Impressionists, especially Édouard Manet, although the refusal of the academic establishment to realize the importance of new ideas and sources of inspiration would eventually prove to be the undoing of the Academy. Although many painting are based around the birth of Venus greek myth, Cabanels is said to be one of the best, and has equal ranking with Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.
