The Birth of Venus by BOTTICELLI, Sandro In contrast to the Primavera, the painting is painted on canvas. She is, however, as little a precise copy of her prototype as the painting is an exact illustration of Poliziano's poetry. He described Venus as being driven towards the shore on a shell by Zephyr; and how an onlooker would have seen the flash in the goddess' eye and the Horae of the seasons standing on the shore in white garments, their flowing hair caressed by the wind. www.wga.hu /html/b/botticel/5allegor/30birth.html   (447 words)

Botticelli Sandro: Biography The work was commissioned by Lorenzo, son of Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, a tormented and neurotic young man. The painting of "Primavera"– like "La Nascita di Venere (The Birth of Venus)" – was placed inside the Villa di Castello where Lorenzino lived. In about 1478, Sandro, now in the favour of the Medici family, painted the enigmatic "Primavera (Spring)" (Uffizi, Florence). Sandro Filipepi was born in Florence in 1445, the fourth child of tanner Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi. www.italica.rai.it /eng/principal/topics/bio/botticelli.htm   (447 words)

Charites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Three Graces, from Sandro Botticelli's painting Primavera in the Uffizi Gallery. Again, at Athens, before the entrance to the Acropolis, the Graces are three in number; by their side are celebrated mysteries which must not be divulged to the many. The Lacedaemonians, however, say that the Graces are two, and that they were instituted by Lacedaemon, son of Taygete, who gave them the names of Cleta and Phaenna. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Charites   (836 words)

Ernst Gombrich Gombrich suggests that it was Apuleius' tale in the Golden Ass - not Poliziano's poem in the Giostra - which served as a source for Botticelli's famous painting the 'Primavera'. Ernst Gombrich was born in Vienna as the son of Dr. Karl B. Gombrich, a lawyer, and Professor Leonia (née Hock) Gombrich. Gombrich also wrote a biography of Aby Warburg (1866-1929), the founder of the Warburg Institute, who was cultural historian and especially interested in the survival and transformations of the classical traditions. www.kirjasto.sci.fi /gombric.htm   (1865 words)

ArtandCulture Artist: Sandro Botticelli Botticelli’s ideal woman, who reappears in his famous works "Primavera" and "The Birth of Venus," paradoxically combines the physicality of pagan art with Christian concepts of chastity and purity. While Botticelli created numerous paintings around Judeo-Christian themes, as did all the artists of his time, his groundbreaking work involved a reinterpretation of classical myth and iconography. But the young Sandro could not contain his love for painting, and after much convincing, his father placed him under the tutelage of the famous Florentine master Fra Filippo Lippi. www.artandculture.com /cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACLive.woa/wa/artist?id=1303   (665 words)

Patrick White's The Eye of the Storm and Botticelli's Primavera Another theme of Italian painting is the Triumph of Venus showing the goddess enthroned on her triumphal chariot drawn by doves or swans. When Flora prepares Mrs Hunter for her final scene, she brings a green wig and two emerald ear-rings, a typical Venusian jewel and colour, to adorn the dying queen. Like Flora Manhood, she is troubled and attracted by Sir Basil Hunter's overt virility and is sexually tempted before fleeing Basil, her lust and moral shame. ebc.chez.tiscali.fr /ebc510.html   (600 words)

Biography There is evidence that the patron who commissioned this and two of his other famous mythological paintings (The Birth of Venus and Pallas and the Centaur, both in the Uffizi) was Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de Medici (second cousin of Lorenzo the Magnificent), a wealthy Florentine with strong interests in Platonic philosophy. The fact that he was called to Rome for such a prestigious commission shows that he must have had a considerable reputation, and by this time the most characteristic idiosyncrasies of his style had already gained shape in the celebrated poetic allegory known since Vasari as the Primavera (Uffizi, Florence, c. According to Vasari, Botticelli later fell under the sway of Savonarola's sermons, repented of his 'pagan' pictures, and gave up painting. www.kfki.hu /%7Earthp/bio/b/botticel/biograph.html   (815 words)

Botticelli - Renaissance Master Artist This painting belonged to Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici and while there is some dispute in art circles, it is presumed to have hung, along with the Primavera, in one of the rooms of his palace on Via Larga in Florence.

Botticelli's Primavera Would you buy a painting from someone called Sandro Filipepi? Botticelli's ÎPrimavera' (aka ÎThe Allegory of Spring') mustn't have made much of an impression on Duke Cosimo de' Medici who commissioned it in 1478. Budding young artist Sandro Filipepi had just finished his apprenticeship with Andrea (Verrocchio) and Leonardo (Da Vinci) and was determined (as only Italians can be) to leave his mark on the Florence art scene of the time. www.italiaplease.com /eng/megazine/notebook/2002/03/botticelli   (653 words)

Deanna's World: Reflections of the Renaissance Florentine early Renaissance painter whose Birth of Venus and Primavera are often said to epitomize, for modern viewers, the spirit of the Renaissance. Founder of the Venetian school of painting, Giovanni Bellini raised Venice to a center of Renaissance art that rivaled Florence and Rome. The early Renaissance in Rome was rapidly approaching the simplicity, monumentality, and massiveness of the High Renaissance of the early 16th century. www.dworldonline.com /ren.htm   (653 words)

10-8-98.htm Though his painting master was a devoutly religious man, Botticelli was best known as a painter of mythological works of which Birth of Venus is typical, along with a slightly less well known La Primavera; The Allegory of Spring. Both have a flowing, lyrical beauty that have since been held up as the epitome of grace and charm, and suffered ridicule when such traits are not always held in high esteem. One of the pitfalls of becoming a legendary artist is that your best work may become so familiar to later generations as to breed contempt. users.1st.net /jimlane/98arch/10-8-98.htm   (378 words)

Renaissance Proud This quest, for the return of the soul to God, is exemplified by the design of the Primavera, and it is this painting which is being designed by Botticelli and his apprentice Filippino Lippi as the murderous plot gathers pace. He seeks distractions in the workshop of Botticelli; he enjoys beauty of intellect in his employer, the poet Angelo Poliziano; he achieves wealth and satisfaction through his craft; but all the time the goddess of Wisdom is calling him, and to win her, all he need do is prostrate himself in front of the tyrant. It is the current fashion to consider him a tyrant and a model for Machiavelli's ideas, but I am satisfied in myself that a man who could write such poetry as his could not be a tyrant (unfortunately the writers of histories are not always readers of literature). www.godstowpress.co.uk /Tabernacle   (378 words)
