"Spring" (Italian: "La Primavera"), a masterpiece of the early Renaissance, is one of the most celebrated works by the Italian painter Sandro Botticelli. Created in the late 15th century, around 1482–1487, this tempera panel painting is renowned for its intricate detail, complex iconography, and its representation of classical mythology within a burgeoning Renaissance context. Housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, "Spring" stands as a monumental testament to the artistic and cultural flourishing of the period.

The painting, measuring approximately 202 cm × 314 cm (80 in × 124 in), depicts a group of figures from classical mythology in a garden, embodying themes of love, beauty, and fertility. At the center is Venus, the goddess of love, presiding over the garden, with the Three Graces dancing in a circle to her right, and Mercury, the messenger of the gods, dispersing the clouds with his caduceus to her left. On the far right, Zephyr, the west wind, is shown in pursuit of the nymph Chloris, whom he marries and transforms into Flora, the goddess of spring, depicted as scattering flowers.

The work is celebrated for its use of allegory and symbolism, drawing from a variety of classical and contemporary sources, including the writings of Ovid and possibly the "Fasti," a poetic calendar of the Roman year. "Spring" is interpreted in various ways, including as an allegory of the lush growth of spring, a depiction of the idealized garden of Venus, and a representation of the Neoplatonic love that was a subject of fascination in the Medici court, where Botticelli was a favored artist.

Botticelli's "Spring" is characterized by its linear grace and the clarity of its composition, hallmarks of the artist's style. The figures are rendered with a delicate, almost ethereal quality, set against a dense woodland backdrop filled with an array of botanical species, each meticulously detailed. This attention to naturalism, combined with the allegorical content of the painting, reflects the Renaissance interest in the natural world, classical antiquity, and the underpinning philosophical and literary culture.

As a seminal work of the early Renaissance, "Spring" not only exemplifies Botticelli's mastery of painting and his ability to weave complex iconographic narratives but also encapsulates the intellectual and artistic vibrancy of Florence at the close of the 15th century. Through its enduring beauty and depth of meaning, "Spring" continues to captivate scholars, art lovers, and visitors from around the world, remaining a pivotal piece in the study of Renaissance art and culture.
