In this Book, the author examines paintings of mythological content by the artist Sandro Botticelli. He retells us the stories of classical antiquity from which so many of Boticelli's motifs derive, equipping the reader with tools to appreciate the narrative quality of the artist's works in more depth. Descriptions of Botticelli's artistic virtuosity and explanations as to the important role the artist played in Renaissance painting are accompanied by reproductions of the highest quality. This Book was relevant to my choice in painting (introduction) but also to the art/artists that influenced Sandro botticelli's art and the impact he had on Renaissance paintings(introduction) at that time and after.
