Botticelli
Carlo Montrésor2010

Whilst the critical consensus on some artists appears to be as luminous and constant as the Pole star, that of others swings between the highs of good fortune and the lows of obscurity. The figure of Sandro Botticelli is, from the point of view, exemplary. He was greatly admired in his time; indeed, his fame went far beyond Florence and his assumed title of "Athena of Italy" spread throughout the peninsula, to the point at which he was amongst the hallowed group of painters called to Rome to carry out the first work on the Sistine Chapel.
