Primavera

The painting is also at the Medici villa at Castello, as a kind of pendant to the Birth of Venus. Left to right: Mercury , the 3 Graces, Venus, Flora, Chloris, Zephyrus. The Venus figure at center resembles a madonna, hence the neoplatonic fusion of pagan and Christian, but the faces are of real people.  The lady on the right side is Caterina Sforza. Primavera epitmizes his use of Sandro's classical mythology as vehicles to illustrate the sentiments that are actually derived from the medivel love of court. 

The Birth of Venus

Simply stunning

Botticelli

Group description

Revisit the works of Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi. He is best known by his alias Sandro Botticelli. Botticelli "little barrel" was an Italian painter of the Florentine school during the Early Renaissance (Quattrocento). Less than a hundred years later, this movement, under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, was characterized by Giorgio Vasari as a "golden age", a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli.
