Botticelli
Italian (1444 - 1510)


The main topic of work of Sandro Botticelli is the representation of the woman, on whom it carries a new glance, profane, beside the traditionelle painting of the Madonna with her child. Botticelli had the art to transcribe the smoothness of the features and the carnal representation of the body. You will find especially fair women and red-headed women in his paintings.
