Aphrodite, ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans. The Greek word aphros means ‘foam,’ and Hesiod relates in his Theogony that Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus after his son Cronus threw them into the sea.

PARIS — With the bloody revolutions of the late 1700s, the mood in Europe was apprehensive and brooding about the future. Perhaps then it's no surprise that the art from that time has a certain gloominess to it as well. Yet what is unexpected is the strange beauty certain artists began to give their visions of horror, whether it was embracing the devil in the same way Milton did in Paradise Lost as an alluring prince of darkness, or portraying the apocalypse with a light that was inverted to our world, but curiously enticing. It's this deviant use of beauty that is celebrated in L'Ange du Bizarre (The Angel of the Odd), an exhibition draped over the galleries of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris that beckons with its Dark Romanticism.

She Will Find What Is Lost by Brian Kershisnik depicts a woman receiving divine help from a host of angels, rushing in to bless and support her. Though she may feel alone, she is actually surrounded by heavenly help. This print resonates with those suffering loss, discouragement, or loneliness. A number of Kershisnik's paintings depict angels interacting with mortal men and women. Brian writes, "My intention for this piece was to speak to the most intensely private and intimate kind of supernatural interference, influence, and assistance... Many unseen forces are interested in you, love you, and work to influence matters for your profound benefit. Most of what we all do is resist it, misinterpret it, or mess it up, but my experience indicates that these unseen efforts persist impossibly. I thank God for that."
