A Knight And A Necktie

Venus the “Goddess of Love” - Romance and the alluring chase after it does have its odd effects on a man.  Thus, causing some men to dress in unusual attire, especially concerning extravagant and flashy neckties that have are the result of great and often uncontrollable emotion. In modern times, wearing neckties are the only real way for a gentlemen to truly express himself artistically, through fashion.  Venus, the goddess of love has had many such wonderful effects on men in falling in love though out history.

The statue of the spell binding goddess, Venus was created by a Florentine artist Sanfro Botticelli more than 500 years ago - could he have ever imagined that a fearless knight would wear a tie illustrating his statue of Venus. I don’t think even the knight could have imagined wearing the tie either? Whoever said novelty neckties were not cool, or that they were silly better not run into this apparent fashion conscience man. He may not take to kindly any criticism of his attire.

Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera are two amazing works of art that have an unbelievable power to move you, transport you to another time, another place. They are dreamy visions of ethereal beauty.

The Birth of Venus a work created in the 15th Century (in Italian: Nascita di Venere) is a painting by Sandro Botticelli. It depicts the goddess Venus, having emerged from the sea as a full grown woman, arriving at the sea-shore (which is related to the Venus Anadyomene motif). The painting is held in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.


For Plato – and so for the members of the Florentine Platonic Academy – Venus had two aspects: she was an earthly goddess who aroused humans to physical love or she was a heavenly goddess who inspired intellectual love in them. Plato further argued that contemplation of physical beauty allowed the mind to better understand spiritual beauty.  Read further here The_Birth_of_Venus_(Botticelli) at Wikipedia
