【旷世杰作的秘密】桑德罗·波提切利《春》6
http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201212/201212130816102003980.mp3As a successful Christian artist, Botticelli was taking an artistic and even moral risk in painting a huge pagan work. But he was almost certainly responding to a patron's orders. Artists in the Renaissance rarely got to choose their own subject matter, and the man who might well have been the patron of the Primavera was certainly used to having his own way. He was the ruler of Florence, and head of the mighty Medici dynasty - known to all as Lorenzo the Magnificent.Lorenzo is a supreme example of what we now would call the Renaissance prince. Besides being fabulously wealthy, he was very enlightened politically and very concerned with the state of the arts in Florence.身为成功宗教画家的波提切利，冒着艺术与道德的双重风险绘制一幅巨型的异教徒作品。但他应该是受到某位金主的委托。文艺复兴时期的画家鲜少能自行决定绘画主题，委制“春”的金主一向自行其是。他是佛罗伦斯的统治者，也是梅迪奇王朝之首，他就是赫赫有名伟大的罗伦佐。
“罗伦佐是文艺复兴时期贵族的代表人物，除了富可敌国之外，也拥有开明的政治思想，也十分关心佛罗伦斯的艺术。
