possibly for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici. They are the
Primavera (c1478) and the Birth of Venus (c1483), both in the Uffizi.
These are mythologies, not of the capricious Ovidian sort, but, it has
been suggested, ones that embody the moral and metaphysical Neoplatonic
ideas that were then fashionable in the Medici circles. Pure visual
poetry, they are stylistically the quintessence of Botticelli: there is

If you simply happen to run the specific experiments for the important
finding, you might not qualify as the first author for the final publication

That said, in most cases, the BOSS has the final say to who should be the
