Botticelli and his paintings (b. 1445, Florence [Italy]--d. May 17, 1510, Florence)
Botticelli is the one who created the most famous painting named "Birth of Venus", which is one of the most well known icon of Renaissance. In modern viewer eyes, women images created by Botticelli are the most grace females: Venus, Saint Mary and others. Although he was one of the most distinguished individual artists of the Renaissance, Sandro Botticelli was little known for hundred years after his death. Then his paintings were discovered in the 19th century by a group of painters from Britain known as the Pre-Raphaelites. The major reason for Botticelli’s unpopularity is very clear: that most art observers and critics, up until the mid 19th century, did not take him to be noteworthy, because Botticelli's work, for the most part, did not seem to these critics to show the conventional characteristics of 15th-century Florentine paintings. For example, Botticelli seldom used the technique of precise perspective, unlike Michelangelo, never used different lightness skill. Another side for Botticelli’s unpopularity is his attitude to the classical paintings; Botticelli was very different from his contemporaries. Although he was thoroughly exposed to classical conventional paintings, Botticelli showed no interest in using the classical style paintings. It is paradoxical that a painter of large-scale classical subjects adopted a style that was only slightly similar to that of classical art. In 1481, Botticelli went to Rome to paint the painting of the Sistine Chapel. Sandro joined artists such as Perugino, Ghirlandaio and then Michelangelo in contributing to the most well known piece of Italian art. While there, Botticelli worked on several pieces in the Chapel. In all, Botticelli painted three large pieces, as well as seven papal portraits in the Sistine Chapel.

I think his painting changed the classical way of perspectives of human body, he makes it more graceful

i love his style. especially venus. she has such grace and elegance but yet theres a look in her of a sort of sadness. her blue eyes are so haunting. thats one reason why she is so intriguing to look at.\r\n

Botticell\'s painting is good at creating unique image of women, similar to Raphael Santis, when you glaring at a character in the painting, you would found each face is aesthetically beautiful, and they were elaborated. Particularly the Venus and Madonna of the Pomegranate. Maybe they are the most beautiful woman icon in the whole art history.\r\n\r\n
