I suppose what is common knowledge to some may not be to others... in fact, the only reason I know who painted that original is because my old college lecturer used to call me his botticelli woman because of my long, wavy, strawberry blonde hair lol! He always said he wanted to paint me. Looking back and saying that out loud it actually sounds a little creepy, considering I was only 16 haha!
Thanks, I just though the work is as famous as the "Mona Lisa", where only a few mention Leonardo da Vinci (because it's common knowledge).

Got you! The story indeed sounds a bit shady. At least he avoided calling you his "Venus" this way.
hahahahaha!!!! TRUE STORY!
Shame, he has left this worldly place now.
