BOTTICELLI Sandro, Alessandro Filipepi 1445 - 1510 (Italy) Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli (Florence March 1, 1445 - May 17, 1510) was an Italian painter of the Florentine school during the Early Renaissance (Quattrocento). Less than a hundred years later, this moment, under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, was characterized by Giorgio Vasari as a "golden age" a thought, suitably enough, he expresses at the head of his Vita of Botticelli. Lorenzo de' Medici was quick to employ his talent. Botticelli made consistent use of the circular tondo form and did many beautiful female nudes, according to Vasari. The Birth of Venus (illustration, right) was at the Medici villa of Castello. He was influenced in his art by Fra Filippo Lippi and Antonio Pollaiuolo. The repeated contacts with the Medici family were undoubtedly useful for granting him political protection and creating conditions ideal for his production of several masterpieces. Sandro was intensely religious. In later life, he was one of Savonarola's followers and burned his own paintings on pagan themes in the notorious "Bonfire of the Vanities". 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. The heretical notions seem to be gnostic in character:

The only interruption from his life in Florence is his short stay in Rome, where he produces 3 frescoes for the Sistine Chapel .a After his training with Frà Filippo Lippi, father of Filippino Lippi , Botticelli falls in with the Florentine rulers of the day - the De' Medici family. Through circles surrounding the artistic Lorenzo 'il Magnifico' he receives commissions for classical works, including the Birth of Venus and Primavera . At the same time he works on a religious body of works. After Lorenzo's death (1492) and the De' Medici family's decline, Botticelli all but stops producing classical works. Possibly influenced by a more Puritan shift in the spirit of his times, his work is now mostly sacred and characterized by a melancholy bordering on pathos. Botticelli dies in Florence in 1510. Botticelli gets his name from his corpulent brother who was nicknamed il botticello or: the small barrel.
