This "Spring" is the Italian painter Sandro? Botticelli's masterpiece. It is said that he created this painting at the age of 37 to celebrate Lao Lunzuo's wedding.
Botticelli is actually his nickname, which means "small bucket" in Italy. He showed extraordinary artistic talent when he was a teenager and was appreciated by the upper class when he was young. His paintings were very sensational at that time, so he became the representative of Florence School.
Spring is one of his representative works. The whole painting is set in the golden apple orchard of Hera. Venus in the painting is surrounded by gods, elegant and serene, gentle and elegant, and beautiful.
Botticelli is very good at depicting the beauty of the goddess. Instead of highlighting the subject with the light and dark modeling of traditional painting techniques, Botticelli outlines the radiant face of the goddess with almost perfect lines.
Immortals from all walks of life gathered on the screen to welcome the arrival of spring. On the right is the "three benefits" representing "beauty, chastity and happiness". They are the daughters of Zeus and the goddess of the sea. On the right of the photo is Persephone in full costume. She has two identities, one is the "queen of the underworld" and the other is the "god of spring". This is obviously the second one.
Behind the spring god, the flower god has flowers in his mouth. Her name is Flo. Strangely, she turned out to be the lover of Zephyr. In this painting, the West Wind God is livid and blowing his lover, Flower God, to see the Spring God.
The connotation of this painting is very rich, with many intriguing details. For example, it is said that there are more than 50 different kinds of flowers and plants on the screen, and we cannot but admire the amazing level of the master.

There are always different opinions about the theme of this work. Generally speaking, it is a moral painting, which shows the harmony between man and nature through the imaginative description of the gods who awaken spring in Roman mythology. Originally created to decorate the dining room of castelo Manor in Florence, it embodies the life interest and aesthetic ideal of the emerging bourgeoisie in the early Italian Renaissance. The works show Botticelli's exquisite and unique painting style, thus establishing his important position in the world art history.
The work "Spring" is also called "The Prosperity of Venus". In medieval religious paintings, only the Virgin Mary was generally arranged under the arch. Botticelli borrowed this form here. Behind Venus, Botticelli used branches and the background sky to consciously leave such an arch in the tree. The dark background Woods suddenly opened around her, highlighting the leading role of Venus. She is carrying a dress in her left hand, and her right hand is slightly raised, so she is dignified and elegant.
Botticelli is a slightly sad lyric poet who yearns for and pursues ideal beauty.
Botticelli's masterpiece is also a canvas painting, which is now in Uffizi Art Museum. This painting is based on a poem by the poet Poliziano. Artists used their own ideas to interpret the images in ancient myths. The plot of the picture unfolds in a beautiful and quiet forest, with the beautiful and dignified Venus at the center. She waited for the arrival of spring with a leisurely and elegant expression. Around her, three goddesses (Aglaea, Zelaya and Fu You Rossini) danced hand in hand. On the left of Venus, Flora, the goddess of spring, is coming to the audience with graceful steps. She was wearing a floral costume, followed by safire, the god of spring breeze, and a Greek girl. This kind of praise for human nature has an extraordinary aesthetic feeling in Botticelli's works. Moreover, Botticelli is unique among Renaissance masters with his elegant style, bright colors and smooth and light lines. But after the Renaissance, westerners failed to make a proper evaluation of him for a long time. It was not until/kloc-romanticism in the 0/9th century and the pre-Raphael movement in England that he was regarded as a master of the early Italian Renaissance. Because he is very good at using thread, he has the same effect as oriental art and won the attention of Chinese and Japanese researchers.
