Highlights from around the web 💫

✨ Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (c. 1445 – 1510), known as Sandro Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century, when he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites who stimulated a reappraisal of his work. Since then, his paintings have been seen to represent the linear grace of late Italian Gothic and some Early Renaissance painting, even though they date from the latter half of the Italian Renaissance period. [1]

✨ The nickname Botticelli, meaning "little barrel", derives from the nickname of Sandro's brother, Giovanni, who was called Botticello apparently because of his round stature. A document of 1470 refers to Sandro as "Sandro Mariano Botticelli", meaning that he had fully adopted the name. [2] 

✨ This painting, usually known as the Primavera [or ‘Spring’] depicts nine figures from classic mythology advancing over a flowery lawn in a grove of orange and laurel trees. In the foreground, to the right, Zephyrus embraces a nymph named Chloris before taking her; she is then portrayed after her transformation into Flora, the spring goddess. The centre of the painting is dominated by the goddess of love and beauty, Venus, chastely dressed and set slightly back from the others, and by a blindfolded Cupid, firing his arrow of love. On the left, the three Graces, minor goddesses with virtues like those of Venus, are shown dancing in a circle. The composition is closed by Mercury, messenger of the Gods, recognisable from his helmet and winged sandals, as he touches a cloud with his staff. [3]

✨ Although the complex meaning of the composition remains a mystery, the painting is a celebration of love, peace, and prosperity.  The dark colour of the vegetation is in part due to the aging process of the original pigment, but is lightened by the abundance of fruits and flowers. At least 138 species of different plants have been identified, all accurately portrayed by Botticelli, perhaps using herbaria. The attention to detail confirms the artist’s commitment to this piece, which is also evident in the sheer skill with which the paint has been applied. [4]

La Primavera di Botticelli e l'interpretazione botanica in un nuovo libro

La Primavera è senza dubbio una delle opere più note di Sandro Botticelli. Realizzata a tempera grassa su tavola nel 1480 circa, è un capolavoro iconico del Rinascimento italiano ma è anche una delle opere più discusse nel panorama della produzione figurativa di tutti i tempi. Le nove figure della mitologia classica si muovono su un prato fiorito, dinanzi a un bosco di alloro e aranci. Nessuna…

Comfort reading a recent printing of a massive contemporary painters manual on egg tempera (and tempera grassa) that captures 30-40 years of personal research by one artist/historian.

Half the 290 pg book reads like a chemistry manual and overall it feels like a very mature student’s PhD thesis (bc of the life experience) and honestly I freaking love it.

I cannot help my weirdly geeky tendencies with such things.

Off to unearth a few more ultra hirez images of 14th & 15th c art that shows the individual brush strokes. Or that show X-rays of art, or half finished paintings, or paintings with fugitive pigments that have faded away to reveal other layers of paint (basically: anything that shows the layers below the intended final layer that the viewer would have seen back in the day)
