Sandro Botticelli

Alessandro di Mariani di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli, was one of Florence’s most individualistic and influential painters towards the end of the 15th century. Renowned for his captivating Madonnas, elegant female figures, and mythological subjects, Botticelli’s art stood out for its unique blend of Renaissance themes with a deliberately archaic style. His work often drew upon the rhythmic lines of Gothic art, giving it a lyrical and refined quality that set him apart from his contemporaries.
