[For an interesting description and interpretation of this picture, see Pater's Studies in the History of the Renaissance: "The light is cold—mere Sunless dawn; but a later painter would have cloyed you with sunshine; and you can see the better for that quietness in the morning air each long promontory as it slopes down to the water's edge. Men go forth to their labours until the evening; but she is awake before them, and you might think that the sorrow in her face was at the thought of the whole long day of love yet to come. An emblematical figure of the wind blows hard across the grey water, moving forward the dainty-tipped shell on which she sails, the sea 'showing his teeth' as it moves in their lines of foam, and sucking in one by one the falling roses.... What is unmistakable is the sadness with which Botticelli has conceived the Goddess of Pleasure as the depositary of a great power over the lives of men.">[
