Laus Veneris is a notable artwork created by the British photographer Frederick Hollyer, who was renowned for his photographic reproductions of paintings and drawings during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hollyer, born in 1837 and passing in 1933, played a crucial role in the dissemination of Pre-Raphaelite and Victorian art through his meticulous and high-quality photographic techniques.

Laus Veneris, which translates to "In Praise of Venus," is a photographic interpretation of a painting by Edward Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The original painting, completed in 1873-1878, depicts the mythological figure Venus, the Roman goddess of love, in a contemplative and melancholic state, surrounded by her attendants. Burne-Jones's work is characterized by its intricate detail, rich color palette, and romantic symbolism, all of which Hollyer sought to capture and preserve through his photography.

Hollyer's photograph of Laus Veneris is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in making Burne-Jones's work more accessible to a broader audience. At a time when the reproduction of art was limited, Hollyer's photographs allowed for the wider appreciation and study of Pre-Raphaelite art. His work was highly regarded for its fidelity to the original pieces, capturing the nuances of texture, light, and composition that defined the Pre-Raphaelite style.

Frederick Hollyer's contribution to the arts extends beyond Laus Veneris, as he documented the works of many prominent artists of his time, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and George Frederic Watts. His legacy is preserved in numerous collections and continues to be a valuable resource for art historians and enthusiasts alike. Through his lens, Hollyer not only preserved the visual splendor of the Pre-Raphaelites but also ensured their enduring influence on subsequent generations.
