Biography: Sandro Botticelli was born in 1445 in Florence, Italy. He died at the age of 65 in 1510. Initially trained as a goldsmith, Botticelli apprenticed to the Florentine master painter Fra Filippo Lippi. He was also influenced by Lippi's contemporary, Masaccio. In 1470, he started his own studio. Botticelli's work is characterized by its gracefulness of line and contour. His figures tend to be modeled in low relief, in contrast to the more dramatic relief (chiarscuro) of later painters. Among his most prominent patrons were the Medicis and Pope Sixtus IV. In 1502, Botticelli was accused of sodomy with his garzone (or "shop lad") who also likely worked as a model, but the charges were eventually dropped. (Leonardo da Vinci had also been charged with sodomy, in 1476, with the charges also dropped.) In later life, Botticelli became a follower of Savonarola, with his later works featuring religious themes more frequently. He is said to have burned several of his earlier "pagan" paintings in the Bonfire of the Vanities. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
