Fresco from Pompei, Casa di Venus, 1st century AD. Dug out in 1960. It is supposed that this fresco could be the Roman copy of famous portrait of Campaspe, mistress of Alexander the Great\nThe Venus Anadyomene ( Venus rising from the sea ) is considered one of Apelles’s masterpieces. Although the original is lost, we can imagine it somewhat similar to the Roman Venus o.  Venus or Aphrodite (the Greek equivalent) was the Goddess of beauty and love. Her birth took place near Cyprus when she rose out of the calm sea. This moment was that Apelles chose to depict. It is said that for this painting he used Campaspe or Phryne as his model. The latter was another courtesan famous for her beauty. According to Athenaeus, Apelles was inspired to draw Venus’s birth when he saw Phryne swimming naked. The painting eventually ended up in the temple of Caesar in Rome, where, according to Pliny, it sustained minor damaged. Eventually Nero had it removed and replaced with another painting.  After the success of the first Venus, Apelles decided to create an even better one. Unfortunately, he passed away before finishing it.
