JOURNAL #8 primavera

Sandro Botticelli
Primavera
Florence, Italy

My first immpression was this is just another greek painting, but after analyzing it I like it better. I would like to know more about the history of these gods, mostly zephyrus and flora.

Its a oil painting, with a lot of details.

The theme is greek gods celebrating spring. I think the artist created the work to educate people about the greek gods, and as a tribute to them.

I think its weird but cool how the womens bodies are shaped. Their tummies are weird kind of like gourds.
