	Sandro Botticelli - Wikipedia
		Alessandro Filipepi, beter bekend als Sandro Botticelli, was een Italiaans schilder, die rond 1445 werd geboren in Florence, in de rione genaamd Ognissanti, en op 17 mei 1510 overleed.
		Bij wie hij daarna in de leer ging is onduidelijk; het vermoeden bestaat dat dit bij Fra Filippo Lippi was, maar ook Andrea del Verrocchio wordt wel genoemd in dit verband.
		Alle zeven bevinden zich nu in het Uffizi-museum in Florence.

	Biography
		Almost all Botticelli's life was spent in Florence, his only significant journey from the city being in 1481-82, when he worked on the decoration of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, where he painted side by side with Perugino, Rosselli, and Ghirlandaio.
		Botticelli ran a busy studio (his most important pupil was Filippino Lippi) and his surviving output is large for a painter of his period.
		Botticelli also painted religious subjects, especially panels of the Madonna, such as the Madonna of the Magnificat (1480s), Madonna of the Pomegranate (1480s), and Coronation of the Virgin (1490), all in the Uffizi, and Madonna and Child with Two Saints (1485, Staatliche Museen, Berlin).

	Sandro Botticelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earlier, Botticelli had painted an Assumption of the Virgin for Matteo Palmieri in a chapel at San Pietro Maggiore in which, it was rumored, both the patron who dictated the iconic scheme and the painter who painted it, were guilty of unidentified heresy, a delicate requirement in such a subject.
		Though comparatively few of Botticelli's mythological paintings survive, the Primavera (illustration, left) epitmozes his use of classical mythology as vehicles to illustrate the sentiments that are actually derived from medieval courtly love.

		For Botticelli, Dante's hell was in part his own Florence, in part the Biblical and Catholic worlds, a collision of religions and mythologies (here's Mohammed, disembowelled, here the giants of antiquity, enchained), in part the state of his own soul.

		Botticelli was Florentine and extremely successful at the peak of his career, with a highly individual and graceful style founded on the rhythmic capabilities of outline.

		In Florence, Botticelli was a protege of several members of the powerful Medici family.
		Botticelli's early years are obscure, but he seems to have been trained in the studio of Filippo Lippi whose style informs his earliest dated work, the Fortitude panel (1470, Florence, Uffizi).
		That Botticelli could work in more than one manner at a time (perhaps, like the Fortitude, adapting it for the context) is shown in his fresco of St. Augustine in his Study, painted in 1480 for the Florentine church of the Ognissanti and in rivalry with Ghirlandaio's nearby St. Jerome (both still in situ).

		A questo primo periodo appartengono diverse Madonne con Bambino, spesso attorniate da angeli di grazia aristocratica; in questi dipinti, l'influenza del Lippi cede a poco a poco il posto a quella del Verrocchio.
		Ritornato a Firenze, Botticelli è incaricato della decorazione, in occasione della giostra del 1475 sulla piazza di Santa Croce, dello stendardo di Giuliano de' Medici con una raffigurazione di Pallade: i pittori dell'epoca non disdegnavano questo genere di lavoro.
		Botticelli avrebbe potuto proseguire in queste ricerche, ma la sua personale visione è quella di un mondo più libero che ha saputo adornare con affascinante poesia.

		This would pursue him through life, as Sandro Botticelli's health was always very fragile, and the doctors would opine that he was born too late to parents who were too old.
		It went from Lorenzo the Magnificent to all of Florence's humanism of this second half of the 15th century to finally be given to Botticelli, who thus scrupulously followed a text: the profane Birth of Venus and the coronation of the sacred Venus.
		And, approaching the earth on which she will assume her true role, her true power, she is suddenly modest, and we should note the stance, which Botticelli borrowed directly from the beautiful examples of the antique Venus Pudicae that were being discovered at that time.

		The designs were conceived by Botticelli and executed somewhat crudely by Baccio Baldini, a Florentine goldsmith and engraver active between 1460 and 1485.
		To Botticelli are attributed two sets of drawings for the Comedy, the first set intended for the 1481 edition, and another group commissioned by Lorenzo Pierfrancesco de' Medici which resulted in the very beautiful illustrations for the entire poem today found in folio manuscripts in Berlin and at the Vatican.
		According to one tradition, Botticelli may have interrupted work to go to Rome where he was called to paint the Sistine chapel, leaving Baccio Baldini without anything to engrave.
