ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Sandro Botticelli was an Italian Early Renaissance painter. Although he was highly regarded in his time, his reputation declined after his death, until he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites in the late 19th century. Today, Botticelli's paintings are appreciated for their linear grace, which represents a unique blend of late Italian Gothic and Early Renaissance styles, despite being created during the latter half of the Italian Renaissance period.

ABOUT "AFFRESCO"
Any art lover, as well as anyone who has visited Italy, must have had the opportunity to appreciate an affresco painting. Most prominent ancient Roman paintings consist of affresco, as do the holy stories depicted within medieval churches. The magnificent decorations found within the halls of villas dating from the fifth, sixth, and seventh centuries also feature affresco paintings.
The affresco painting method is the basis for the most impressive mural works of Italian art and is considered to be the most widely used artistic technique during the Renaissance period by world-known artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raffaello, Signorelli, and Piero Della Francesca and more.
