In addition to Christian themes, Renaissance artists also turned to stories of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses for subject matter. An example is Botticelli's tempera painting Primavera, whose central subject is Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Botticelli paints the goddess in the nude, with only a few concessions to modesty. Such a large-scale depiction of the female nude in art was unknown since the nudity of classical art. Botticelli's usual linear style and shallow modeling were an exception to Renaissance norms. Appearances of Medici family symbols emphasize the role of patrons in Renaissance art. Botticelli's work displays the rarefied and learned side of Renaissance art.
