- Resum
- Alain de Lille was a poet, philosopher and theologian in the second half of the twelfth century (c. 1120-1202). He defended a conception of Nature in his De planctu Naturae ('The Plaint of Nature'), which was written during his exile to a remote abbey in Northern England. His work dealt with two main concerns: first, a strong criticism of homosexuality and other vices in the name of natural behaviour ; second, a celebration of Nature and its beauty with descriptions of the four seasons, the heavens, and many animals. The work remained unknown for a long time, until the Florentine author Brunetto Latini, in exile in France, took it as a model for his own work Tesoretto around 1260-1266. Two centuries later, the Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli, inspired by these two texts, painted the well-known Primavera in order to advise the young Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco (cousin of Lorenzo il Magnifico) to favour marriage over homosexuality.
