"Nature, such an important presence in Renaissance art, is celebrated in THE ALLEGORY OF SPRING with a profusion of light and color. This painting is among the most mysterious in all the history of art, and scholars have long tried to unlock its arcane secrets. Even after the various personages have been identified, the overall meaning still remains uncertain. The expression of a culture imbued with symbolic and allegorical allusions like that of the fifteenth century, the painting lends itself to the most varied hypotheses for interpretation."
