Talk:Primavera (Botticelli)

message: This is dreadful.  I started to try to edit this article, but whoever wrote the original was so poorly-informed that the entire article needs to be thoroughly rewritten. The "Primavera" is one of the most iconographically-complex (and argued-about) paintings in the History of Art.  Let's start trying to do it justice. -Neddyseagoon, I think

message: The article in the Guardian i linked claims that Montegufoni Castle is about 40 miles from Florence, but a look at the link below suggests it is more like ten miles:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Via+Montegufoni,+18,+Montagnana,+Montespertoli,+Italia&sll=41.87194,12.56738&sspn=11.645917,19.753418&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Via+Montegufoni,+18,+50025+Montespertoli+Firenze,+Toscana,+Italy&t=h&z=16
... and so i have claimed ten miles in the wikipedia article, rather than going with the forty miles mentioned in the Guardian.jonathan riley (talk) 11:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Castello di Montegufoni, about 40 miles from Florence" 

message: The description of the painting refers to the figure twice, as the one on the right side scattering flowers, and then againas the one nex to her nearest companion. --129.13.72.198 (talk) 19:52, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Flora 2x 

message: That paragraph is terribly vague and the reference links to what seems to be a fringe theory about the painting. Either let's expand it if the theory is supportable, or cut it out, but at the moment even the claim itself is missing (as it is from the publicity material about the 2014 book). So there's a disguised message in the painting? What is it? That floral dress detail? Very unclear. Complex Analysis (talk) 21:45, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Now cut. New theory by a non-professional. Too soon, at best. Johnbod (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
