The splattered results pulsate with energy, replacing the refinement of easel and brush with ... |

Today, Botticelli is hailed as a towering figure of the Florentine Early Renaissance. His secular works The Birth of Venus and Primavera, mostly read as an allegory of Spring, are among the most recognized paintings in the world, resplendent in their ... |
