1477年他以诗人波利蒂安歌颂爱神维纳斯的长诗为主题，为美第奇别墅所画《春》。这幅画已经和《维纳斯的诞生》一起，成为波提切利一生中最著名的两幅画作。在这幅画中，波提切利运用自己的想像力对古代神话故事重新演绎，人物线条流畅，色彩明亮灿烂，却又在充满着欢乐详和的气氛中，带有一丝忧愁。

At around the same time as he painted the Primavera, Botticelli also created what might seem to us one of the most inappropriate wedding gifts of all time.
It's a terribly violent story, this horrific scene of a woman being torn to pieces by dogs. It's the last scene that you'd imagine today for a young couple to commission for their wedding chamber, and yet that's exactly what we see in 1483, painted by Botticelli.
But this tale of canine carnage has a happy ending. ln the final scene of the series, the blood has been mopped up, and a marriage celebration is taking place. ln the Primavera, too, violence is transformed into happiness. Pursuing the original fable to its end, we find Zephyr, overcome by shame, taking Flora as his wife. She, as her smile suggests, is a contented bride. She has no cause to complain, the fable tells us, of her marriage bed.
