1) Sandro Botticelli. Life: 1445 - May 17th, 1510 (aged 64-65)
2) An Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli painted a wide range of religious subjects and also some portraits.
3) His reputation eclipsed longer and more thoroughly than that of any other major European artist.
4) Legacy: His paintings remained in the churches and villas for which they had been created, and his frescos in the Sistine Chapel were upstaged by those of Michelangelo.
5) The 1480s were his most successful decade, the one in which his large mythological paintings were completed along with many of his most famous Madonnas.
6) By the 1490s his style became more personal and to some extent mannered. His last works show him moving in a direction opposite to that of Leonardo da Vinci.

About Me
He was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli s posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century, when he was rediscovered by the PreRaphaelites who stimulated a reappraisal of his work. Since then, his paintings have been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting. In addition to the mythological subjects for which he is best known today, Botticelli painted a wide range of religious subjects including dozens of renditions of the Madonna and Child, many in the round tondo shape and also some portraits. His best-known works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera, both in the Uffizi in Florence. Botticelli lived all his life in the same neighbourhood of Florence; his only significant times elsewhere were the months he spent painting in Pisa in 1474 and the Sistine Chapel in Rome in 1481 to 1482.
