"Primavera" (Spring) by Botticelli (1482); the rebirth came rather earlier in warmer climes:
Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote...sweet showers indeed. Read this from right to left: Zephyr's cold March wind finds the beautiful nymph Chloris...their union (she becomes Flora) domesticates the wind, impregnates her, and she is going to spread life (over 130 different flowers in this painting).  Venus oversees all of this, the Graces dance, and Mercury...drives away clouds?  For more, visit the source, the Ufizzi. .
