Sandro Botticelli

Primavera

US$ 678.00

Venus stands at the centre of an orange grove; the Three Graces dance to her right, Flora scatters flowers, and Zephyrus seizes the nymph Chloris at the edge. Botanists have identified roughly two hundred plant species in the meadow, almost all of them flowering in Florence in spring. Companion in fame to his Birth of Venus, and the wider of the two — it suits a long wall.

Artist

Sandro Botticelli (c. 1445-1510) worked at the centre of Medici Florence, painting mythologies charged with the Neoplatonic philosophy then being argued over in the city’s academies. In later life he fell under the influence of the preacher Savonarola, turned to severe religious subjects, and is said to have burned some of his own earlier work. He died largely forgotten, and it took the Pre-Raphaelites in the nineteenth century to restore him.
