About - Fine Art Print Florentia

This print is a professional reproduction of the original painting Florentia.

The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli inspired this whole collection. Florence, or Florentia, is the birthplace of Sandro Botticelli, so this piece is a nod to this great Renaissance painter. The floral motif depicted here is a simplified interpretation of the flowers on the dress of the young woman in Birth of Venus. ‘Fiore de amore’ means the ‘flower of love’, which is fitting to sit next to the Goddess of Love, Venus.
