SANDRO BOTTICELLI
(1445-1510)
Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi was, known as Sandro Botticelli. He was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance.
Botticelli's post-mortem prominence sorrowed until the late 19th century when he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites, who produced a reappraisal of his work.
Botticelli was perhaps the most prominent humanist painter of the Early Renaissance, yet predominantly his life and impacts remain a mystery to us today.
His paintings depict the height of the cultural flourishing of the Medicis' Florence, a thriving society that promoted the progress of art, philosophy, and literature.
