Sandro Botticelli, c.(1445 - 1510)

• Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, known as Sandro Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance.
• Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then, his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting.
• Only one of his paintings is dated, though others can be dated.
• He was an independent master for all the 1470s, growing in mastery and reputation.
• The 1480s were his most successful decade, when all his large mythological paintings were done.
• In 1472 Botticelli had only Filippino Lippi as an assistant. 
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Giuliano de`Medici, ca. 1478/1480.
