A landmark work in Renaissance art scholarship, Botticelli presents a comprehensive and authoritative study of one of the most celebrated painters of the Italian Quattrocento. Authors L.D. and Helen S. Ettlinger chronicle the life and artistic development of Sandro Botticelli, whose iconic works — from The Birth of Venus to Primavera — redefined the visual language of the Florentine Renaissance. The text details Botticelli's relationship with the Medici court, his philosophical and mythological inspirations, and the technical mastery that distinguished him from his contemporaries. Richly illustrated with 158 images, 18 of which are in full colour, the volume presents Botticelli's paintings with a clarity and depth that invites both scholarly scrutiny and pure aesthetic appreciation. This is an essential reference for anyone serious about the history of Western art.
