Bas-relief “Flora” by Botticelli, representing Flora with Cupid above her head, from the painting “The Allegory of Spring,” exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. For the creation of his painting “Spring,” Botticelli was inspired by the work of the Roman poet Ovid, who narrates the story of the Greek nymph Chloris and her transformation into the queen of flowers. In the painting by the Florentine painter, from right to left, appears the god of the west wind, Zephyr. He tries to catch the nymph Chloris, who in her flight transforms into Flora, represented with a dress of floral motifs and throwing flowers from a basket.
