What Renaissance is
When and how "Primavera" was painted
"Primavera" is a work by Sandro Botticelli, made in c. 1477–1482 — more than 549 years ago — using tempera on panel, associated with Renaissance.
The original of "Primavera" is on display today at the Galeria Uffizi, in Florença (Itália), and the image on this page is a public-domain photographic reproduction of that same painting, not a photo of the venue.
Why "Primavera" is considered significant
"Primavera" regularly appears on lists of the world's most famous paintings for representing Renaissance of the 15th century well, and for having influenced generations of artists after Sandro Botticelli.
This site also covers another work by the same artist: "The Birth of Venus".
