Birth of Venus - Richard Holst
SIZE INFORMATION
Display images are created for ISO (A-size); artwork will be adjusted slightly for non-ISO sizes.
Sizes listed refer to paper size. If the print includes a white border, this border is included in the listed size.
For framed orders, this size is equal to the perspex size, and does not include the frame width. Frame width = 2cm on all sides. This means a 30x40cm print will be approximately 34x44cm framed.
Mats (mounts/passepartouts) are not included. If you purchase an unframed print and plan to use a mat, please consider the overall 'print area', inclusive of any white border shown.
If you would like to adjust the 'print area' for a specific mat / framing option, or if you would like to request a size not listed, please contact me at hello@modernmythosart.com.

The Birth of Venus; an illustrative painting of the love goddess rising from the sea, by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst (1924).
With perhaps the most obscure origin story in Greek mythos, Aphrodite was said to be born from the sea foam created after Cronos cut off the genitals of Uranus. And according to some versions, she arrived to land on an open scallop shell, which we often see feature in later depictions of the goddess (or her Roman equivalent, Venus).
