Sandro Botticelli

Sandro Botticelli was an Italian painter of the early Renaissance, born in Florence in 1445. He was known for his graceful, delicate style and his use of vibrant colors, which earned him widespread acclaim and made him one of the most famous artists of his time.

Botticelli's most famous works include The Birth of Venus, Primavera, and The Adoration of the Magi, which are considered some of the greatest masterpieces of Renaissance art. He also painted a number of religious works, including altarpieces and frescoes.

Despite his success during his lifetime, Botticelli fell out of favor in the years following his death in 1510, and it was not until the 19th century that his work began to be widely appreciated again. Today, he is recognized as one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, with his work continuing to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
