The large black wing placed on the top right of the couple in flight provides balance to better reflect the dark throughout the tree. Many colors provide balance to better see the image of Venus in the artwork that brings life to painting, such as the color of the blanket and clothes of the springs that are light to help balance the wings of the flying couple. And Venus will be a focal point in said artwork.

The artwork belongs to the Early Renaissance (also referred to as the Quattrocento period). Venus and her shell are the focus of the painting, and her face is one of the most beautiful faces in art history. Botticelli was influenced by Masaccio.

The artist shows us one of his famous mythological paintings by showing his passion, emotion, and imagination.
