About
A cultural program at Casa Belvedere, The Italian Cultural Foundation, exploring the life and artistic legacy of Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510), one of the defining painters of the Early Renaissance. It looks at his religious paintings of the Virgin Mary and his mythological masterpieces The Birth of Venus and La Primavera, which created a new, idealized image of female beauty. The program also examines his connection to the artistic and intellectual circles of Florence. It covers how the changing cultural climate under Girolamo Savonarola's influence transformed his work later in life.
