La Primavera

Is Botticelli's La Primavera an artistic allegory? A pageant of sexual permissiveness? An emblem of Renaissance humanism and Neoplatonism? This program offers multiple interpretations of one of the most hotly debated works in the history of Western art as it tracks La Primavera from its creation, to its decline into obscurity, to its sensational reemergence as an icon of the Pre-Raphaelites, to its place in modern pop culture as an object of both reverence and satire. Technical aspects of La Primavera's painting, such as Botticelli's use of egg tempera and lead white, are touched upon as well.

  • "The story of Botticelli's exquisite and extraordinary pagan masterpiece La Primavera. A group of Californians recreate it as a tableau vivant and Hollywood director Peter Bogdanovich talks about why he chose to base a film on it. Narrator Samuel West traces the origins of Sandro Botticelli's painting."@en
  • "This final episode of The Private Life Of A Masterpiece features Sandro Botticelli's allegorical masterpiece, La Primavera. The sister painting to The Birth of Venus, La Primavera was painted in Florence, probably in the 1480s, and was one of the first large secular works since Greek and Roman times. It featured the first sensual female figures of the Renaissance in a city awash with pious Christian images, and it remains one of the most perplexing and enigmatic of all the great paintings."@en
  • "Botticelli's allegorical masterpiece, painted in Florence probably in the 1480s, was one of the first large secular works since Greek and Roman times, and featured the first sensual female figures of the Renaissance in a city awash with pious Christian images. Why did Botticelli, whose previous art was confined to conventional Christian images and portraits of the wealthy and powerful, paint the ground-breaking La Primavera? This program explains how, in the Seventies, a painting, fixed above an ornamental day-bed, cited in a centuries-old inventory from a Medici house, was recognized as being La Primavera, shedding new light on its creation."@en
