Sandro Botticelli, Primavera (Spring), Renaissance painting, circa 1480


The painting depicts a group of figures from classical mythology in a garden, but no story has been found that brings this particular group together. Most critics agree that the painting is an allegory based on the lush growth of Spring, but accounts of any precise meaning vary, though many involve the Renaissance Neoplatonism which then fascinated intellectual circles in Florence. Painting made in tempera on panel circa 1480
