Botticelli - Primavera (Spring)
FLORA
This is Flora. The part of Botticelli's painting "Spring" that I decided to illustrate in accordance with the message of the first episode of John Berger's Ways of Seeing.
In the first episode of Weiss Of Seeing, John Berger talks about the appearance of cameras as a mechanical eye, which means that all the works of great masters are available at any time, in any place. By focusing on a specific frame captured by the camera, the experience of the image can be completely change.
Reproductions of Mona Lisa we can find everywhere, even on socks and T-shirts, as well as Van Gogh’s sunflowers, Raphael’s angels and many others. The question is, do works lose their authenticity and mysticism in this way?
