About This Item
Firenze, Italy L.S. Olschki 1983. Hardcover, 215 pages, ENG, 315 x 220 x 20 mm, dustjacket, red linen with black imprint, book itself is in perfect condition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788822231314. «If we have to indicate an artist who represents the Uffizi Galleries, certainly Botticelli even prevails over Michelangelo». These are the words with which the Director of the Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, introduces the reading of this book. After all, Botticelli's popularity with the general public, the quotations, and even the gadgets derived from his works testify to his success. But above all, the large panel of Primavera stands out, icon of the imagination and undisputed symbol of the Renaissance. There is nothing else to say. The book that we are now presenting, however, uses the flowers and plants of the meadow on which the famous scene takes place as a key to understanding the work and its meanings and brings out a world of meanings and suggestions that lightly introduce the heart deeper than that extraordinary period which goes by the name of the Renaissance.
