Read the full account

About 1480–82 Botticelli painted Primavera, a large tempera now in the Uffizi. This Fact is that completed mythological panel as a court knowledge object, not Birth of Venus and not a later room rehang.

Context

A Medici-house allegory later hung as a public gallery picture is an education path.

Sandro Botticelli’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

Uffizi dates the panel about 1480. It is later inventoried with Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de’ Medici’s house, not as a piazza fresco. Nine mythological figures; meaning remains discussed. He designed; the panel is tempera on poplar.

Why it matters

Confidence high on the object, medium on exact year and full iconography.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

What the sources establish

The Uffizi Primavera object page and Smarthistory independently describe the panel, date range, and later Medici-house context.

Established: Primavera as Botticelli’s large mythological panel, Uffizi holding. Not established: a unique 1482 day of completion.

Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Nine figures on poplar are not Venus on canvas. Split the two Uffizi myths.
