di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (1445 - 17 May 1510), known for his name
Sandro Botticelli, is a famous Italian painter during the early
Renaissance period. He worked at the Florentine School under the auspices of Lorenzo de Medici. Shortly
after Giorgio Vasari's 100th anniversary, he created an art style that
would describe the Botticelli Vita as a "golden age." Botticelceli has drawn on mythological and religious topics.
Today one of the world's most famous paintings has been portrayed by her: Birth of Venus and Primavera in the Uffizi in Florence.
Sandro spent his whole life in Botticelli's same neighborhood of Florence, and the most important time he spent out there was in the Sistine Chapel in the Roman Vatican. He worked here for months, the Sistine Chapel, a small church on the walls of Michelangelo's famous works.
Botticelli is a master artist in the 1470s, the 1480s are the period of his greatest mythological paintings and the best Madonna's. It has changed in the 1490s style, creating paintings in the style of high period Renaissance works. Botticelli is described as "a stranger in the mainstream of Italian painting".
In 1481, Pope Sixtus IV invited Botticelli and other famous Florentine artists to decorate the walls of the newly completed Sistine Chapel. This big project would be the main ornament of the chapel. Most of today's frescoes are still preserved, but many of them have been or are degraded by Michelangelo's work during the period.
Some of Botticelli's famous paintings are:
Primavera was built for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco's city house in Florence. In the Botticelli Spring table, from left to right: Mercury, Three Autumn, Venus, Flora, Chloris, Zephyrus.
The Botticelli Venus Birth Painting depicts the goddess Venus, who has emerged from the sea as an entirely adult woman. The sea shell you're standing on is a classical antique symbol for a woman's vulva. Aphrodite is also designed in Venus, which is an ancient Greek marble sculpture.
