Items related to Botticelli
Alessandro Filipepi, most commonly known as Botticelli, was born in Florence in 1444/5. For much of his life, he was closely allied to the house of the Medici, in whose sphere Botticelli's most important paintings were created, and whose patronage helped to establish him as a painter of considerable wealth and prestige. Botticelli presents the works of Sandro Botticelli, within the context of his life and the society in which he lived. The artist's early development is examined, and the two main influences on his work, the House of Medici and the friar Savonarola, and how these influences manifested themselves in his paintings.

From the Back Cover:
One of the most distinctive and popular of Renaissance artists, Allesandro Botticelli (c. 1445–1510) took gracefulness in artistic style to new heights. His pale female figures greatly influenced the English painter Edward Burne-Jones, while his flowing lines inspired many Art Nouveau artists. This lovely collection of fine art stickers reproduces 16 of the famous Florentine artist's finest works, including Portrait of Dante, Portrait of a Lady, Madonna del Libro, and The Virgin and Child with Five Angels, as well as details from The Birth of Venus, Primavera, and The Annunciation. Art lovers who delight in the work of Renaissance masters will welcome this extraordinary collection of masterpieces.
