Primavera Detail of Three Graces by Botticelli Case-Mate iPhone Case

This detail of The Three Graces from the painting La Primavera (Spring) by Sandro Botticelli, tempera on wood panel, c. 1482, highlights the graceful, rhythmic drawing and deep understanding of classical form which characterise the work of this Renaissance master. The Graces are part of a procession of ancient gods from classical mythology who herald the coming of spring, symbolising the era of rebirth and renewal that was the Renaissance. Primavera in its elegant classical figures, details of costume, foliage and flowers, and complex composition forms one of the iconic images of Western art.
