lf you had the Primavera on your wall, you were actually buying into art history in the making, because Boticelli was such an important part of the making of the 19th century canon. But there would have been a sense too that the neighbours might well have been, perhaps a little shocked by the Three Graces draped in their thin nighties, dancing around.
The three nudes, or nearly nudes in the foreground, don't conform to the terms that the nude in Victorian England needed to conform to. They were too sensuous. They were too elegant and dancing, and also they seemed to be rather interested or at least one of them seems to be rather interested in the male figure of Mercury. And with the Zephyr and Flora on the far side, there's an erotic overtone in this picture which would have been rather troubling.
