Primavera | Sandro Botticelli Postcard

Primavera (c. 1480) by Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) is an iconic allegorical painting celebrating spring, beauty, and the renewal of nature. Set in a lush garden filled with orange trees, flowers, and delicate foliage, the composition brings together nine figures from classical mythology. At the centre stands Venus, goddess of love and beauty, beneath a blindfolded Cupid, while the Three Graces dance nearby and Mercury stands watch at the far left. On the right, the wind god Zephyrus pursues the nymph Chloris, who appears again as Flora, goddess of spring, scattering blossoms across the meadow. Botticelli’s graceful figures, flowing garments, and extraordinary botanical details create an enchanting vision of Renaissance elegance and classical mythology.
