Primavera

This is one of my favorite paintings by Botticelli. I like this painting because it has to do with Greek mythology and overall it's is very magical. It has Venus in the middle preparing for the beginning of spring. The three Graces on the left, and on the far left is Hermes, God of messengers. Hermes is protecting the grove from intruders. On the right is Flora tossing flower petals on the ground, and next to Flora is Chloris, who later transforms into Flora. On the far right is Zephyrus, God of the Wind. He his in love with Chloris. And above Venus is her son Cupid, shooting his arrows.
