The paintings of Sandro Botticelli have become a trademark of the Italian Renaissance. With his innovative portraits, mythological allegories, and complex devotional pictures, Botticelli set new standards. The idealized beauty and elegant grace of his figures make them the very epitome of Florentine art in the age of the Medici, when the city-state was ruled by Lorenzo the Magnificent. This lavishly illustrated book brings together essays by art historians of renown and takes a detailed look at some eighty different paintings and drawings. Works from every phase of Botticelli's career are compared with others by his contemporaries that depict similar themes in order to situate them within a broader historical context. The result is a fascinating panorama of Florentine visual culture in the age of the Renaissance.
