Art and it’s enjoyment is always personal, so unlike many publications and art critics who’ll ram their likes and preferences down your throat until you suffocate in agreement or face snide comments on your taste, at bc we suggest you go take a look and like what you like and enjoy it. In that vein it’s worth taking a wander over to the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) of the University of Hong Kong sometime before the 15th December to take a look at Sandro Botticelli’s (1445–1510) Venus in person.
An iconic image of the high artistic achievement of the Renaissance (14th–16th centuries) Botticelli produced a number of unique Venus paintings, the carefully executed tempera painting on wood relates to ancient classical sculpture and the tradition of depicting the goddess Venus as a heroine, symbolising love, beauty, fertility and prosperity in Greco-Roman mythology.
A rebirth of Antiquity, the Italian High Renaissance is significant for the sophisticated stylistic and technical advances in science and art, and the methodical study of nature and the human body. Botticelli’s painting, a depiction of the nude, exemplifies these values in which the verisimilitude and beauty of the human condition as an ideal form is achieved by the finest artists in early modern Europe.
There are a series of lectures and talks to complement the exhibition

The 2013-14 Hong Kong rugby season got off to a highly entertaining start at Kings Park with three Premiership matches featuring a slew of familiar if rebranded teams, a new trophy and most importantly some good rugby – lots to look forward to over the next few months.
