THE FEAST OF THE GODS, 1514 by GIOVANNI BELLINI
This is the best example of the limited number of secular works that BELLINI completed towards the end of his artistic life. It is a complex composition, similar to a ROMAN FRIEZE, in its horizontal arrangement. It shows a scene from the life of Ovid, in which about seventeen figures, including BACCHUS and HERMES, as well as JUPITER and PAN, as well as NEPTUNE and APOLLO, are feasting in the forest.
Many of the nymphs and goddesses have their breasts exposed, and PRIAPUS (the man in green on the right side of the painting) is trying to lift the sleeping LOTIS' skirt. There are many sexual themes running through the painting, and it is believed that the couple in the middle, the lady in the peach and the man with the hand between her legs were portraits of Duke and his wife.
The painting is full of the bright colors that Bellini was known for, especially the blue of the young BACCHUS’ robe on the left-hand side. These figures are gods, but there’s not much to distinguish them at all. It’s pretty much a naturalistic depiction of people living their lives in nature

Many an artist dreams of leaving a legacy that cements their place in history, but some of them miss perhaps the simplest step in that process: signing one’s work. 
That’s the case with a group of paintings being presented for an exhibition at Compton Verney in England, Tudor Mystery: A Master Painter Revealed, which seeks to put a name to a Tudor-era painter whose identity has been obscured by time, though his subjects were extremely venerable.

No more trans doom scrolling! Today we are embracing trans hedonism!
T4t love, polyamory, queer platonic relationships, and friendships are so beautiful! Embrace pleasure, embrace rest, embrace yourself and all those you love! Eat that cake, kiss that person, take that nap, enjoy your life! Today I call for an era of radical trans joy!

PRIMAVERA, (1477) by SANDRO BOTTICELLI
PRIMAVERA shows a group of figures from GREEK MYTHOLOGY in the garden or forest. Rather than depicting a particular scene from a mythological tale, it is thought that either BOTTICELLI presents these figures in this configuration for the sake of aesthetics, or, if there is a story in this painting, we don’t know what it is because we can’t find out about it.
The mystery of this painting is what makes it so appealing. While the painting’s title suggests that it’s an allegory of SPRING, there’s no consensus on what exactly the painting is trying to say.
It is probable that the main character is VENUS (the goddess of love) while the three grace dancers dance beside her. CHLORIS (the goddess of flowers) is chased by a figure of the west wind before changing into FLORA (reminiscent of a myth in OVID). MERCURY (the messenger god) stands on the left while CUPID (the figure of the arrow) flies above the scene.
The PRIMAVERA is particularly significant as it is one of the earliest examples in Western post-Classical painting of a non-religious scene.

San Francisco’s Legion of Honor is set to showcase the first major exhibition dedicated to Sandro Botticelli’s drawings this fall. 
Known for masterpieces such as “Primavera” and “The Birth of Venus,” the exhibition will feature five newly attributed drawings as well as a variety of rarely seen preparatory sketches that unpack the design process for several of Botticelli’s iconic paintings.
