Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist Card

by Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510). Erich Lessing / Art Resource, NY

Painter of the early Renaissance, born in Florence, Italy. He trained, probably, under Filippo Lippi (c.1458), and from c.1470 worked from his own studio. He is best known for his treatments of mythological subjects, notably 'Primavera' (Spring) and "Birth of Venus", both in the Uffizi. His work includes illustrations for Dante's Divina commedia, which he executed in pen and ink and silverpoint. Among his numerous devotional pictures are the "Coronation of the Virgin" (Florence Academy) and the large circular "Madonna and Child" (Uffizi). He also painted frescoes for the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, and in his later years was much influenced by the teaching of Savonarola, producing works of a more deeply religious character.
