Details: This poster is of Primavera, by Sandro Botticelli. Venus is standing in the center of the picture. Above her, Cupid is aiming one of his arrows of love at the Charites (Three Graces). The garden of Venus, the goddess of love, is guarded on the left by Mercury, who stretches out his hand to touch the fruit. From the right, Zephyrus, the god of the winds, is forcefully pushing his way in, in pursuit of the nymph Chloris. Next to her walks Flora, the goddess of spring, who is scattering flowers.
Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli or Il Botticello ( The Little Barrel ; March 1, 1445 - May 17, 1510) was an Italian painter of the Florentine school during the Early Renaissance (Quattrocento). Less than a hundred years later, this movement, under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, was characterized by Giorgio Vasari as a golden age , a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli. His posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting, and The Birth of Venus and Primavera rank now among the most familiar masterpieces of Florentine art.
