His masterworks The Birth of Venus and Primavera are among the best know works of Renaissance art. Although he was one of the most talented and innovative artists of the period, Botticelli remained relatively unknown for centuries after his death. Then, in the late nineteenth century his work was rediscovered by the group of artists in England known as the Pre-Raphaelites, who praised him for his sense of realism and grace. He has since been recognised as one of the most influential artists of all time. This magnificently illustrated volume offers readers an unrivalled overview of Botticelli"s life and works - from his time as an apprentice goldsmith to his fresco paintings in the Vatican"s Sistine Chapel.
