This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Astarte Syriaca designed from a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti shows the artist's version of Venus, the goddess of love, portrayed with a sensual tone and standing in a powerful, mystical stance, flanked by two attendants under a glowing sky. You can almost feel the warm air of a Mediterranean dusk, thick with the scent of burning incense. For an artisan like myself, the way the deep emerald green robes catch the fading twilight is simply breathtaking! Her intense gaze holds a quiet authority that will no doubt command any room. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
