"Relief depicting The Birth of Venus for blind persons to appreciate its beauty" (see related A) Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Tuscany, Italy

A touching demonstration of the humanism and sensitivity of the Uffizi Gallery leadership toward blind visitors. The shown relief allows blind patrons to appreciate the beauty of paintings.  

Those who suffer from "amaurosis" (blindness) can appreciated beauty through a compensatory enhanced digital palpatory sense. Amaurosis derives for "going dark" as when becoming blind - Moro in Spanish implies "dark" skinned or from Mauritania or Moor.
