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 Mystic Nativity (c 1500) is a profound and complex depiction of Christ’s birth infused with apocalyptic symbolism. The infant Christ reaches towards the Virgin Mary, surrounded by the Three Kings and shepherds. Above them, a golden dome of heaven opens, encircled by twelve angels holding olive branches entwined with scrolls and crowns. On earth, angels embrace men, proclaiming peace, while demons flee through cracks in the rocks, symbolizing the triumph over evil. The Greek inscription refers to Italy’s troubles and the biblical Book of Revelation, predicting the final defeat of the devil upon Christ’s second coming.
