Sandro Botticelli - Botticelli and the Beauty of Myth

---

Beschreibung:

The Medici court painter Botticelli is one of the most brilliant artists of the Italian Renaissance alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Favouring feminine portraits, Botticelli stands apart through the finesse of his lines and the unbridled sensuality of his paintings. Between religious and private commissions, this Florentine artist introduced the profane into art through works of complex mythological subjects, such as the incontrovertibly masterful Primavera and The Birth of Venus, and knew how to delight the erudite patrons of art. The Madonna of the Magnificat remains one of the most beautiful depictions of the Virgin ever achieved.
Between the delicacy of the Renaissance and the exuberance of Mannerism, the richness and refinement of the works of Botticelli are the magnificent legacy of a master.
