3. La Primavera and the Allegory of Spring—1942

Sandro Botticelli's La Primavera

Here we see Sandro Botticelli's La Primavera -
Primavera, also known as Allegory of Spring, is a tempera panel painting by Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. Painted ca. 1482, the painting is described in Culture & Values as "one of the most popular paintings in Western art.




Wallace Tripp's Allegory of Spring - 1942

And the wonderful world of Wallace Tripp. His amazing Allegory of Spring—1942. So very detailed and colourful - those 40's fashions, the hair styles and the cute little Easter bunnies.


A more modern version of Botticelli's work, painstakingly done. Light filled an happy. Poor old Venus might still be in her daggy dress but I must say I like the look on her face = those eyes! I'm sure she looks like she is thinking of what mischief she can get up to.
