SANDRO BOTTICELLI 'PRIMAVERA' late 1470/early 1480s
📍Uffizi, Florence
One of the most beautiful renaissance paintings, it depicts a group of figures from classical mythology.
The wind of early Spring blows on the land and brings forth growth and flowers, presided over by Cupid and Venus, goddess of love and beauty, joined by the Three Graces and Mercury, the messenger of the Gods.
The orange grove indicates that it may have been commissioned by the Medici's, and historical reports showed that it was indeed added in a Medici inventory report.
Centuries after it was created, this masterpiece can be seen by anyone visiting the alluring city of Florence.
