Primavera, c. 1480

Sandro Botticelli

Tempera, panel, plaster · 203 x 314 cm

A crowded allegorical garden of gods caught mid-dance.

In Botticelli's allegory of spring, Venus presides over a flowering grove as the Three Graces dance and Flora scatters blooms. Botanists have identified hundreds of species underfoot. Mysterious and lyrical, it is one of the most enchanting paintings ever made.
