Saw this painting at the National Gallery of Scotland — I love it. Botticelli’s style is unbelievably beautiful. He’s by far my most favorite artist to have studied in art history class so far.

I hatechu Botticelli

…but not actually, you’re a friggin’ amazing artist. I just don’t like writing art history papers on your paintings!

Just look at the details of Venus and Mars, though! It’s suuuch an amazing painting. My fave :)

Venus and Mars by Sandro Botticelli.
I think I’m going to do my Art History midterm paper on this painting. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. I really love Botticelli’s style and use of colours.
