The work is set in a garden surrounded by orange trees and depicts various mythological figures. In the center are Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, to her left are the Three Graces, and to her right are Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, Flora, the goddess of flowers, and Mercury, the messenger god.
"Primavera" is not just a mythological painting. It contains various allegories. For example, the Three Graces symbolize "Joy," "Chastity," and "Beauty," respectively, and are said to represent human virtues. In addition, the scene in which Zephyros chases Flora is thought to announce the arrival of spring and express the strength of love.
The Renaissance Ideal Depicted in Primavera
"Primavera" is also important as a work that reflects the humanistic ideas of the Renaissance period. People of the Renaissance idealized the culture and art of ancient Greece and Rome.
