Glass, bubbles and delicate, translucent fabrics were all employed within Italian Renaissance art as a metaphor or philosophical allegory for the immaculate conception, for light passes through these objects without causing harm. In this vein, Botticelli’s Primavera and The Birth of Venus were referenced, in tandem with strings and chains of pearls, denoting purity, preciousness and truth. The immediate scene around the protagonist is a Renaissance still life; again, translucent liquids and glass objects are employed for their symbolism, while citrus (known as ‘medicinal apples’) are abandoned half-peeled. Small creatures, such as wasps and snails, act as symbols of the brevity and impermanence of life. Bordered by a satin ribbon, the scene is laid within a fairytale landscape, where pastel palaces and elegant spires extend into the hazy skies from atop the lofty mountains. This is no ordinary view; it is a place where the immortals tread, the state between earth and heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whimsical text within the design is a play on Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetails: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e100% silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade In England\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDry Clean Only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cc-tabs__tab\" role=\"tablist\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cc-tabs__tab__panel rte\" role=\"tab\" id=\"product-tab-panel2_9449981739249\" aria-labelledby=\"product-tab-panel2_9449981739249\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail__page-content\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"495\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"105\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" width=\"188\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShoulder to Shoulder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" width=\"202\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderarm to Underarm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" width=\"202\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003einch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003einch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003einch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra Small\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabina Savage","offers":[{"title":"Beigeeeee \/ XS \/ SS26-OxfordShirt-TGSCR\/CA","offer_id":44421698912371,"sku":null,"price":1080.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beigeeeee \/ M \/ SS26-OxfordShirt-TGSCR\/CA","offer_id":44421698945139,"sku":null,"price":1080.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8636\/4275\/files\/TheGlassSwan-SilkOxfordShirt-Pencil-ModelFront_1728x_34e1d356-c60c-4df1-88b3-1f0f98ae51e5.webp?v=1772472687","url":"https:\/\/www.carlmeyers.com\/products\/the-glass-swan-oxford-blouse-pencil-crystal-calcite","provider":"Carl Meyers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
