Also known as The Allegory of Spring, this painting is considered one of the most popular paintings in all the world of art. It is also the most written about, and has raised much controversy. Most art historians agree that the painting depicts a group of mythological figures cavorting in a lush garden is al allegory for spring. But other believe that it s more than simple illustration, and that it contains a representation of the ideal of Neoplatonic love. The commission for this painting most probably came from the Medici family, and was possibly inspired by a poem by Poliziano.
