Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy. t The Medici of Florence have become synonymous with the extraordinary cultural phenomenon called r the Italian Renaissance. The work of one of their favorite painters, Sandro Botticelli (1444–1510), is a testament to the intense interest that the Medici had in the art, literature, and mythology of the A Greco-Roman world. r Botticelli painted Primavera (Spring) for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de’ Medici (1463–1503). Venus, e the goddess of love, stands just to the right of center with her son Cupid hovering above her head. To v the left are the dancing Three Graces. Although based closely on ancient prototypes, they are clothed instead of nude, albeit in thin, transparent garments. At the right, the blue ice-cold Zephyrus, the west o wind, is about to carry off and marry the nymph Chloris, whom he transforms into Flora, goddess of c spring, appropriately shown wearing a rich floral gown. At the far left, Mercury reaches up, perhaps to e dispel storm clouds. The sensuality of the representation, the appearance of Venus in springtime, and the abduction and marriage of Chloris all suggest the occasion for the painting was Lorenzo’s wedding h in May 1482. But the painting also sums up the Renaissance view that earthly love is compatible with t Christian theology: Venus as the source of love provokes desire through Cupid. Desire can lead either to lust and violence (Zephyr) or, through reason and faith (Mercury), to the love of God. t That we know Botticelli’s name and details of his career is not surprising, because it was during the u Renaissance that the modern notion of individual artistic genius took root. But in many periods of the o history of art, artists toiled in anonymity to fulfill the wishes of their patrons, whether Egyptian pha- b raohs, Roman emperors, or medieval monks. Art through the Ages: The Western Perspective surveys the A art of all periods of Western art from prehistory to the present and examines how artworks of all kinds have always reflected the historical contexts in which they were created.
