Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was a prominent Florentine Renaissance painter known for his graceful figures and mythological themes. His iconic works include “The Birth of Venus” and “Primavera”, showcasing elegant lines and a distinctive style that defined early Renaissance art.
Sandro Botticelli’s Adorazione dei Magi (1470-75) transforms the Gospel story of the Magi’s homage into a portrait gallery of Florentine society during the ascendancy of the Medici. The three Magi are identified with Cosimo the Elder and his sons Piero and Giovanni; Lorenzo the Magnificent and Giuliano also appear, along with the patron Gaspare di Zanobi del Lama. Mary with the Christ Child sits centrally under a guiding star, while Joseph sleeps, fulfilling Matthew’s account. The painting is admired for its rich color, variety of figure poses, and Botticelli’s skill in portraiture.
