"Spring" is one of the most famous work of Botticelli and was painted for the wedding of Lorenzo de'''' Medici. Here is a reproduction of "Spring" made in the 19th century. As a decorative oil painting for a wedding, it represents best wishes for the couple''''s future together. In the center is a gentle Venus, the Queen of love, and above her, the god of love-Cupid aims his loving arrows. To the left, the Three Graces dance in a silent reverie of beauty. At the right Zephyr, the warm wind of Spring, embraces the Roman goddess Flora,
delicately clothed and running from his amorous clasp. She is shown at the moment of her metamorphosis into Flora, as her breath turns to flowers which take root over the countryside. Zephyr and Flora are also depicted in the oil painting The Birth of Venus.
