Beyonce Posts Artistic Nude Pregnancy Photos, Inspired By ‘The Birth Of Venus’ Painting

To say Beyonce’s pregnancy news made headlines on Wednesday would be an understatement. New intimate images have emerged on Queen Bey’s website from her pregnancy photoshoot on Thursday and she is taking Demi Moore’s lead, posing nude.

These personal flowery shots were taken by Los Angeles-based photographer Awol Erizku and compiled into a magical digital photo gallery, titled “I have three hearts.”

The whimsical images are accompanied by poems and other meaningful sentiments: “I’m watching life inside me grow; there’s life growing inside me and I’m beside myself with dreams. Was it your voice I heard? You speak to me from inside me, I have three hearts.”

One artistic photo features the songstress topless with her hand covering one of her breasts and her long locks covering the other.

In another shot, the pregnant mom expecting twins is situated on top of an old red car adorned with a carload of assorted flowers.

Taking a breathtaking rest on a luxurious chaise, blooming Bey sprawls out on a bed of orange, yellow and pink blossoms.

And in another series of shots, Beyonce is photographed underwater – an artistic way of emulating her unborn babies in utero.

Now many Twitter users are comparing Beyonce’s pregnancy photographs to the mid-1480s The Birth of Venus painting by Sandro Botticelli. Perhaps the photo album should be renamed from “I have three hearts” to “The Birth of Beyonce’s Twins”.

Check out some of the social media reaction to the new set of pregnancy photos:

Beyonce is always goals. My maternity shoot was me standing outside a food truck clutching an empanada in each hand but it's fine.
