La Primavera by Sandro Botticelli: The Writers of NBC Hannibal Did Their Fucking Job

*TW: Sexual Violence, Rape, Kidnapping

To preface, I recently did a paper on this painting because I loved it from the show and I have a lot of thoughts I’d like to share. I truly believe the writers of this goddamn show deserve all the praise in the world for the amount of research they put into everything in the show.

This painting was commissioned by the Medici family most likely for a wedding and completed between 1477-1482 in Florence, Italy which classifies the painting as a Renaissance piece. La Primavera is not it’s original name as that’s unknown but was later given to the piece by an Art Historian. La Primavera translated from Italian means “The Springtime”.

Although this entire painting could be dissected character by character as there’s certainly enough to analyze, I’d like to specially point out the three characters I think both Botticelli and the writers of Hannibal wanted us to focus on.

On the far right side of the painting is a depiction of the God of Wind, Zephyr, and a nymph, Chloris. Zephyr is at the furthest end painted in mute grays and blues with his arms wrapped around Chloris with a look of frustration on his face. Chloris is looking at Zephyr with surprise and fear as she is being taken away by Zephyr. Firstly, it’s important to note that while every other character is characteristically neutral (as would be the typical depictions during the Renaissance), both Zephyr and Chloris have dynamic facial expressions which are more typical of the Baroque period. This, along with Zephyrs contrasting color pattern, separates these two characters from the rest of the painting.

We get the story of Zephyr and Chloris from Ovid, a Roman born in the first century who compiled both Greek and Roman mythologies into poems which often relied on themes of romance. As the story goes, Chloris was a lovely nymph who was enjoying the spring fields when the God Zephyr kidnaps and rapes her. After this, Chloris is transformed into the Goddess Flora who is depicted in La Primavera next to Chloris with a pregnant belly and flowers blooming around her. In Fasti Book 5 from Ovid it’s said that Chloris (now Flora) is happy and “enjoy[s] perpetual spring” that she “have a fruitful garden, fanned by the breeze and watered by a spring of running water” (Lines 200-202).

In Season 3, Hannibal and Will when they meet at the Uffizi Gallery have been separated by the violence Hannibal had committed against Will (stabbing him in the Season 2 Finale and killing Abigail). Essentially, I believe that Hannibal thought of himself as Zephyr when he sat in front of the painting and thought of Will as Chloris. We know that Hannibal had an affinity for this painting and especially these two characters because earlier in the season we learn that Il Mostoro (Hannibal’s “killer name” when he was a teen in Italy) killed two lovers that he positioned like Chloris and Zephyr.

I think that after the events of Season 2, and after Hannibal realizes he loves Will he sees this painting in an entirely different light. He accepts the violence he inflicted upon Will although he does not regret it. Zephyr apologized for his violence with the gift of a glorious transformation, Flora enjoys perpetual spring and is happy in marriage. I think what was so heartbreaking about Wills betrayal after they leave the gallery is that Hannibal has not yet transformed Will and given him his perpetual spring. Will continually rejects Hannibal and his own transformation, the violence that Hannibal has inflicted has no reward just yet.

It’s no accident that this painting is in front of them as they have arguably one of their most intimate and overtly romantic conversation of the entire show. The writers have put their fucking back into this and it SHOWS.

#Hannibal #nbc Hannibal #these writers are absolutely fantastic #also this painting is fucking amazing and I love it #sandro botticelli #la primavera #art analysis #show analysis #Hannibal analysis #I might add some more later if I think of it
