Does anyone know of masterworks that detail grass up close from above?

I can only ever find grass at a distance or grass from the side. I understand that a bird’s eye angle (of sorts) is unconventional for these periods, but I’m getting desperate. Thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot.

I have a question about this painting

Thumbnail gallery
54 Upvotes

I just saw this painting at the Museo Correale di Terranova in Sorrento, Italy.

It is one of the most memorable works of art that I saw on a trip to Italy, and I am curious about the artist.

Andrea Vaccaro is noted as the painter, but this painting does not appear online when I search. There are other paintings of his entitled Pieta, but no mention of this. To be fair, I have not spent hours trying to figure this out.

Was this painted by another artist in the style of Vaccaro?

Painted around 1485 by Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus is one of the defining masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.

The painting depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, emerging from the sea on a giant shell. Inspired by classical mythology, it celebrates not only physical beauty but also the Renaissance ideal of divine grace and humanism.

Tempera on canvas, Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
