Is it spring yet?
Part of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and
Sinding’s Rustles of Spring link:

In the complete work, classical goddess Venus emerges from the water on a shell, blown towards shore by the Zephyrs, symbols of spiritual passions. Zephyrus is known as the fructifying wind, the messenger of spring. She is joined by one of the Horae, goddesses of the seasons, who hands her a flowered cloak.
The effect is distinctly pagan, considering it was made at a time and place when most artworks depicted Roman Catholic themes. It is somewhat surprising that this canvas escaped the flames of Savanarola’s bonfires, where a number of Botticelli’s other alleged pagan-influenced works perished.
