Sandro Botticelli: A collection of 139 paintings (HD) Description: Sandro Botticelli is considered one of the greatest artists of the Early Renaissance, and he produced numerous paintings that achieved masterpiece status, including Primavera and The Birth of Venus. In his lifetime, he was held as one of the most esteemed painters in Italy, earning numerous commissions from the powerful Medici family and their circle. "Botticelli's mythological pictures are of fundamental importance to our understanding of the Florentine Renaissance," Michaël J. Amy stated in the Encyclopedia of the Renaissance. "His paintings of ancient myth offer a pictorial equivalent of the humanist study and imitation of ancient poetry and the development of a highly refined vernacular poetry of love...." With the High Renaissance, however, Botticelli's reputation soon fell out of favor, and following the artist's death in 1510, painters such as Leonardo da Vinci eclipsed his artistic influence. Botticelli would not be rediscovered until the second half of the nineteenth century. The Pre-Raphaelites imitated his style, and later critics and artists, like John Ruskin and Walter H. Pater, also gravitated to his graceful, melancholic works. According to Pater, writing in Studies in the History of the Renaissance, Botticelli "is before all things a poetical painter, blending the charm of story and sentiment, the medium of the art of poetry, with the charm of line and colour, the medium of abstract painting."
