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.
Portrait of a Lady known as Smeralda Bandinelli (c 1470-80) by Sandro Botticelli is an early Italian Renaissance portrait. The sitter, identified from an inscription as Smeralda Bandinelli, wife of Viviano Bandinelli, is shown in three-quarter view at a window. She wears a rich ensemble: a white linen or silk camisa beneath a red gamurra, over which is a sheer gold-edged “gonella” or overgown. The composition emphasizes her direct gaze—unusual for female portraits of the time—her hand resting on the window frame, with architectural features (column, half-closed door) framing her.
