Botticelli Spring Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES A Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf featuring floral elements from the masterpiece La Primavera c.1478 by Sandro Botticelli. La Primavera is a masterwork of the Italian Renaissance, blending classical mythology, humanist ideals, and poetic allegory. Commissioned by the Medici, it depicts Venus presiding over an orange grove flanked by mythological figures like Mercury, the Three Graces, and Flora. Its intricate symbolism celebrates love, fertility, and the cycles of nature, reflecting Neoplatonic philosophy. The painting's lyrical style and ethereal beauty diverged from the rising naturalism of the time, yet its imaginative synthesis of classical themes influenced later Renaissance art. La Primavera remains a cornerstone of Florentine culture and an enduring symbol of Renaissance intellect. COLOURS STYLING A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
