What makes us look twice at certain works of historic art? Is it their iconic status over the centuries, the stories that they tell - or just the sheer beauty of their creation?
In this episode of A Closer Look, art historian and specialist guide Freya Middleton takes a deep dive into Botticelli's Spring, explaining the intellectual context of its creation, its various neo-Platonic meanings, and the artistry of Botticelli that we continue to admire today.
You can find an enlargement of the artwork on the Uffizi's website here: www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/botticelli-spring
