text:
The Birth of Venus is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, produced between 1753 and 1755. It is held by the Musée Grobet-Labadié in Marseille. A sketch for the painting is in the Smith College Museum of Art. In the sketch, Fragonard used a mix of red chalk and other media to study the composition before transferring it onto canvas. The Birth of Venus and its sketch are an example of Fragonard's habit of reversing scene direction and changing figure posit
