Masters harness the divine to break traditions.
"The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli was controversial due to its depiction of a nude female figure, which was uncommon for the time, and its subject matter being drawn from classical mythology rather than religion. The painting was a large-scale secular work featuring nudity, which challenged the norms of religious and moral art prevalent during the Renaissance.
