Spring
It is believed that Sandro Botticelli was inspired to write this gorgeous, one of the most famous paintings, by an excerpt from a poem by Lucretius:
Mother of Aeneas’ sons, joy of men and gods,
nourishing Venus, who beneath the stars
that glide across the sky crams full of life
ship-bearing seas and fruitful lands— through you
are conceived all families of living things
which rise up to gaze upon the splendour
of sunlight, and when you come near, goddess,
winds and sky clouds scurry off; for your sake,
artful earth puts forth sweet flowers; for you,
smooth seas smile, calm sky pours glittering light.
And we are inspired by both the great works of Lucretius, Botticelli and other Masters, as well as spring itself, which will pretty soon be changed by an equally wonderful and fruitful time of the year 😇
