Botticelli’s Venus (Birth of Venus, 1484, Uffizi Gallery, Florence) was a blonde bombshell … following in a long tradition of blondes, a tradition that still has roots (no pun intended!) in society today.  In this lecture we will look not only at Botticelli’s beautiful and iconic paintings along with other important blonde beauties of the Renaissance, but also some of the millennia of traditions about blondes upon which Renaissance artists drew.
