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 The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child (c 1485) is a striking Renaissance work. The Virgin Mary kneels in tender adoration before the sleeping Christ Child, whose pose foreshadows his later death and sacrifice. Surrounding them, lush rose bushes evoke the “enclosed garden,” symbolizing Mary’s immaculate conception and purity, while strawberries hint at Christ’s future suffering. The painting’s intimacy and symbolic details suggest it was made for private devotion in a domestic setting.
