Overview

Sandro Botticelli was a prominent figure of the Florentine Early Renaissance, supported by the influential Medici family. Despite his early fame and contributions to the Sistine Chapel, his work was largely overlooked for centuries, only regaining significant art-historical recognition in the 19th century. Today, he is celebrated for masterpieces like 'The Birth of Venus' and 'Primavera,' renowned for their intricate details, flowing lines, and balanced compositions.
