The action in Calder6n's scene corresponds to the left and right sections of the painting: from Mercury's message on the left to the rape of Chloris/Flora on the right. The three Graces in both painting and play stand for the Senecan notion of liberality. It is through acts of generos- ity that bellicose impulses are transmuted into a vision of harmony and abundance.

Widely acknowledged as a prime manifestation of Florentine humanist culture under Lorenzo de'Medici, Botticelli's Primavera cannot be fully interpreted without considering the poetics that expressed the Laurentian cultural program and, in turn, the Renaissance itself. In this analysis Charles Dempsey examines the poetry written by Lorenzo and his literary clients in order to give definition to the cultural context in which the Primavera was created. A celebration of Love, the painting is shown to ...

Careful studies of the history of Primavera scholarship and of the classical and Renaissance texts previously associated with the painting reveal the reasons for this belief, which has only tenuous support from the painting itself. This article proposes that another classical text, the Orphic Hymns, was the primary textual source for Botticelli's painting, which is an allegory of spring, ...

Finally, Botticelli's appeal to Ovid, the poet of exile, is not innocent.

Some of the most monstrous pictures are Leonardo's Last Supper, Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling, Watteau's fete galante paintings, Botticelli's Primavera, and Giorgione's Tempesta. The interpretive trichotomy of Subject, Not-Subject, and Anti-Subject is employed to talk about the (intentional) ambiguity and polysemy of these monstrous works. This interpretive trichotomy helps order unruly accounts of the most complex artworks. In so doing it illuminates not only some monstrous pictures but a general area

Botticelli's painting embodies a metaphysical image of the cosmos reflected in the soul, as outlined in the letter, with the planetary deity Luna as the middle term of both, mediating between the celestial and terrestrial realms of the one and – as ratio – the intellectual and sensual realms of the other.

The artist transposes the intention of a whole section of Par. XXX (the first vision: flow of light and "mirabil primavera", v. 67-78) by referring closely to textual details. In the course of this, he displaces the supernatural imagery of the Dantean verses by means of an arbitrary divergence. This intermedial difference arises from putting the symbolic expression of "faville vive" (= living sparks), which Botticelli permutes into angels – angels with cloaks covered in ...
