# Primavera is completed as a large Medici-neighbourhood mythological panel now in the Uffizi Date: 1482 ## The fact 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. It is one event. ## Context A Medici-house allegory later hung as a public gallery picture is an education path. Do not convert Neoplatonic readings into a 1482 treatise he signed. [Sandro Botticelli](/people/sandro-botticelli)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. 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. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources The Uffizi Primavera object page and Smarthistory independently describe the panel, date range, and later Medici-house context. Official or archival record: Uffizi — Botticelli, Primavera (https://www.uffizi.it/opere/botticelli-primavera; Gallerie degli Uffizi). ## Significance A still-public Primavera is a knowledge-access path. Confidence high on the object, medium on exact year and full iconography. ## What is established and what is not Established: Primavera as Botticelli’s large mythological panel, Uffizi holding. Not established: a unique 1482 day of completion. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Sandro Botticelli. They are not a public rating. Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Nine figures on poplar are not Venus on canvas. Split the two Uffizi myths. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Sandro Botticelli. ## People - Sandro Botticelli: https://factrail.ai/people/sandro-botticelli ## Sources - https://smarthistory.org/botticelli-primavera/ - https://www.uffizi.it/opere/botticelli-primavera ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/sb-primavera-1482
