"Botticelli" by Henry Bryan Binns is a biography written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the life and works of the renowned Italian painter Sandro Botticelli, who flourished during the Renaissance period in Florence. It aims to illuminate both the artist's remarkable contributions to art and the cultural context that shaped his enduring legacy. The text chronicles Botticelli's artistic journey, from his early life as a delicate boy born to a family of tanners, through his apprenticeship under Fra Filippo Lippi, to his notable commissions from the Medici family. Binns examines Botticelli's most celebrated works, such as "The Birth of Venus" and "Primavera," highlighting the themes of beauty, mythology, and mysticism that resonate throughout his paintings. Additionally, the book delves into the influences of his time, including the philosophical ideas of neo-Platonism and the tumultuous events brought about by Savonarola's reign. Ultimately, it portrays Botticelli as a complex figure, whose art reflects both the aspirations and struggles of his era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
