Primavera — Botticelli

Botticelli's Primavera transforms Greek mythology into a vernal symphony of movement and allegory, depicting over 20 figures within a dense, dark orange grove. Painted around 1482 for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, this tempera-on-panel work portrays Venus at center, while the Three Graces dance in a flowing circle and Mercury points skyward.
