Venus Anadyomene (Greek – literally Venus rising from the sea) is a c. 1520 oil painting by Titian depicting Venus rising from the sea and wringing her hair either after bathing or after her birth. Venus said to have been born from a shell is identified by the shell at bottom left. It is smaller than usual in birth of Venus scenes such as Botticelli’s and is likely just an identifier rather than a sure sign that this is a birth of Venus scene.
