Primavera by Sandro Botticelli

Primavera, created by Sandro Botticelli in 1482, is a seminal work of the Italian Renaissance, executed in tempera on panel. This painting is celebrated for its intricate allegorical representation of spring, featuring figures from classical mythology, including Venus, Mercury, and the Three Graces. Botticelli's use of line and form exemplifies the transition from medieval to Renaissance art, emphasizing naturalism and humanism. The work is believed to have been commissioned by the Medici family, reflecting their influence and patronage in Florence during this period. Botticelli, born Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, was a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene, known for his contributions to the development of linear perspective and his distinctive style. Primavera continues to be studied for its complex iconography and its role in the cultural and artistic milieu of 15th-century Italy.
