Sandro Botticelli
(Italian, 1444–1510)
Biography
Sandro Botticelli was an eminent painter of the Italian Renaissance. Characterized by delicate colors, graceful forms, and flowing compositions, Botticelli’s paintings conveyed complex narratives by seamlessly incorporating figures into the surrounding pictorial space. The artist’s works Primavera (1477–1482) and The Birth of Venus (1486), are considered exemplars of technique in Early Renaissance painting. Born Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi in 1445 in Florence, Italy, he apprenticed as a goldsmith prior to changing disciplines and entering the studio of Filippo Lippi. Botticelli later spent time in the workshop of Andrea del Verrochio, whose studio also apprenticed Pietro Perugino. By 1470, Botticelli had established himself as prominent artist in Florence, where he produced tempera paintings of both secular and Biblical subject matter. The artist’s renditions of Classical mythology, commissioned portraits, and scenes from Dante’s Inferno and Boccaccio’s Decameron, are some of the earliest surviving Western paintings not based on the Bible. During the early 1490s, Botticelli’s paintings changed towards more stylized forms and Catholic subject matter. The artist died on May 17, 1510 in Florence, Italy. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and the Louvre Museum in Paris, among others.
