Sandro Botticelli

The Adoration of the Magi

US$ 786.00

The Medici family appear as the three kings and their retinue, arranged around a ruined classical arch with the Holy Family raised on a plinth above. Botticelli painted himself into the right-hand edge, in an ochre cloak, looking straight out at the viewer. It is a nativity that doubles as a group portrait of who ran Florence.

Artist

Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) trained under Filippo Lippi and became the defining painter of Lorenzo de’ Medici’s Florence, working in a linear, melancholy, intensely graceful style. Under Savonarola’s influence his later work turned severe and religious. He died in obscurity and was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites four centuries later.
