From the artist
Everyone has noticed how, in the evening, a bright star appears in a sky that is still light. As twilight gradually fades, Venus becomes brighter and brighter. When the sky grows dark and numerous stars begin to appear, Venus suddenly stands out among them.
But Venus does not shine for long. An hour or two passes, and it disappears.
People have known Venus since ancient times, and many legends and beliefs have been associated with it. Later, the planet Venus was named after the Roman goddess Venus, a symbol of beauty, femininity and physical love in Roman mythology.
According to one legend, Venus, known as the Evening Star, is the embodiment of a woman transformed into a star.
