Artist: Sandro Botticelli

Posted on 09:00 by john mical
Considered by many as one of the greatest of religious artists in the Renaissance period, his patrons included the powerful Medici family of Florence. In 1481, Pope Sixtus IV invited Botticelli to paint frescoes on the wall of the Sistine Chapel.

Notable work: "Adoration of the Magi" (1475)
