Sandro Botticelli

Botticelli's paintings on canvas

Sandro Botticelli is the nickname used by Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi. He was one of the most famous painters in history, living and working in Italy in the second half of the 15th and early 16th centuries, i.e. during the Renaissance. Sandro Botticelli's paintings do not feature perfectly refined proportions of the human body or depth. The artist did not use chiaroscuro. His chosen means of artistic expression was linearism. Botticelli conveyed what he wanted to convey in his painting with the fluidity and intensity of his lines. He preferred the desire to present the character or temperament of the characters or the atmosphere of the painted scene over the realism of the message.
Botticelli used intense, but rather bright colors. The composition in his paintings was extremely precise. The main motifs of the paintings created by Botticelli were religious themes, biblical and mythological scenes. He also painted portraits - it is possible that some of them are self-portraits. Botticelli is also the author of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, which best proves the importance of this artist in the times in which he created.
