Synopsis

For 500 years the enigmatic Primavera has guarded its message. A chance discovery by the author of a disguised symbol unlocked the secret of this famous Renaissance masterpiece. Painted in an age both violent and inspiring, the meaning of the Primavera throws open a window onto the Renaissance pagan revival.

Author's Biography

Eugene Lane-Spollen has spent the decade since first discovering Botticelli's disguised communication researching late medieval Florence, its literature, pursuits, politics, philosophy and social mores. He spends his time between France, the Far East, Ireland and Italy.

Reviews
