HUMANITAS is influenced by the music of Ancient Airs and Dances, composed by Ottorino Respighi and inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s painting La Primavera and The Birth of Venus. Greek Gods and Goddesses, Venus, Mercury, Flora, Zephyros, Chloris, the three Graces, and Cupid are brought to life from these paintings.
