La Primavera was made by Botticelli in 1482 during the Renaissance. It is an oil on canvas and it is based purely on fantasy. This piece of art work mirrors society because it shows how men in the Renaissance thought about woman and how woman entertains people. This painting shows how men thought about woman because you see Venus (the goddess of love and beauty), you also see cupid, three woman dancing and a beautiful background. Venus shows that men want love and beautiful woman. The background is beautiful and it looks like the woods where Adam and Eve lived in before the got kicked out, this shows that men in the Renaissance where not only religious but they fantasized about stories in the bible. Cupid, who is the god of desire, further shows that Renaissance men thought about love and lust. It also shows how woman entertained them selves and others by three woman dancing . The three woman dancing wore a sort of silky god-like dress giving the impression that they where suppose to bewilder the people who watched them dance. La Primavera shows how men in the Renaissance thought about woman and how woman entertained people and this mirrors society because men probably would have been thinking about woman a lot and the dancing not only showed how they danced but how they kept people entertained.
