Sandro Botticelli is one of the greatest painters of the Florentine Renaissance. His Birth of Venus (c. 1485) and La Primavera (c. 1477–82) are often said to epitomize for modern viewers the spirit of the Renaissance, despite his elongated, seemingly weightless figures and fairly flat spaces deviating from the naturalism of other Renaissance painters.
