Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (c. 1445 – 1510), better known as Sandro Botticelli, was an Italian painter during the early Renaissance.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Botticelli used the notable Florentine beauty Cristina Vespucci as a model for his paintings[1] and worked under Lorenzo de' Medici's patronage, producing paintings such as The Birth of Venus, Pallas and the Centaur, and Primavera.[2] Like other rising artists of the time, he had his own workshop in Florence and several assistants in his employ.[3] Following the House of Medici's fall, Botticelli became a supporter of the radical friar Girolamo Savonarola.[4]
Botticelli was also one of the painters hired by Pope Sixtus IV to paint fresco panels for the Sistine Chapel in Rome.[5]
In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[6]
