PRIMAVERA, (1477) by SANDRO BOTTICELLI

PRIMAVERA shows a group of figures from GREEK MYTHOLOGY in the garden or forest. Rather than depicting a particular scene from a mythological tale, it is thought that either BOTTICELLI presents these figures in this configuration for the sake of aesthetics, or, if there is a story in this painting, we don’t know what it is because we can’t find out about it.

The mystery of this painting is what makes it so appealing. While the painting’s title suggests that it’s an allegory of SPRING, there’s no consensus on what exactly the painting is trying to say.

It is probable that the main character is VENUS (the goddess of love) while the three grace dancers dance beside her. CHLORIS (the goddess of flowers) is chased by a figure of the west wind before changing into FLORA (reminiscent of a myth in OVID). MERCURY (the messenger god) stands on the left while CUPID (the figure of the arrow) flies above the scene.

The PRIMAVERA is particularly significant as it is one of the earliest examples in Western post-Classical painting of a non-religious scene.
