Botticelli

---

Outline : "Giorgio Vasari, author of Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects... and recognized as the first art historian in the modern sense of the term, refers to Botticelli using expressions that confirm the fame the artist attained in that era and the esteem the Aretine author felt for him. What is interesting here is his insistence on the personality of the painter, who he depicts as a 'man of inquiring mind endowed with an 'extraordinary brain." (Chiara Basta). The genius of Botticelli is still apparent centuries after Vasari penned these first impressions. The artist's breathtaking, myth-like visions of gods, goddesses, nymphs and the like represent a singular painting style that has to this day remained unmatched. One of the most daring painters of his time, Botticelli sought to explore classical themes of beauty and the divine in philosophy and literature. This splendid volume captures the extraordinary grace of Botticelli's paintings, which lies at the core of his body of work. Each book in this series features a preface by a renowned art historian, a thoroughly researched essay and a description of the artist's masterpieces. The appendix includes a chronology of the artist's life and important historical events of his time; a compilation of writings by well-known art historians, which add cultural perspective and insight into each painter's stylistic development; a table listing the location of each painting in the book; and a concise bibliography with suggested further readings. No matter what your knowledge of art history, this series will compel you to explore a world of art beyond the canvas.
