Francis de Saint-Geniès Original Signed Lithograph – Venus Birth of Venus Surreal Nude – Artist Proof EA 38×56 cm

This post is also available in:

Francis de Lassus Saint-Geniès (1925–2018), original signed lithograph, hand-signed in pencil, artist proof (E.A.).
– Title: Venus (inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, reimagined in a surrealist style).
– Size: 14.96 × 22.04 inches (38 × 56 cm) – ideal for framing and display.
– Condition: Perfect / mint condition – no tears, creases, foxing, or fading.

This striking fine art print presents a surrealist interpretation of Botticelli’s iconic Birth of Venus. The French artist captures the goddess Aphrodite (Venus) as a dreamlike, unclothed female figure – a nude portrait blending classical beauty with personal symbolism and soft, sophisticated colors.

In his quest to reveal the hidden inner mystery of his models, Saint-Geniès creates an inverted, poetic world that locks in individual enigma. As the great-grandson of composer Charles Gounod, he infuses his work with gentle harmonies and refined chromatic elegance.

A beautiful example of French surrealism, featuring:
– Surreal nude woman
– Mythological goddess portrait
– Bare female figure
– Aphrodite / Venus reinterpreted
– Elegant French fine art nude
