Women in Art
Art expresses all aspects of life - birth and death, love and hate, wars and religious ceremonies, royalties and pleb, families, men and women.
Throughout the history women and their beauty, their bodies in particular have become artists’ obsession. Celebrating women around the world - their beauty, intelligence, creativity and true power, we chose some of the most important art pieces that depict women, and inspired modern artists and photographers to continue the obsession.
Perhaps one of the famous woman is Venus. Her beauty and power are unquestionable. The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli 1486 is one of the most famous artworks.
