Ohne die englischen Präraffaeliten des 19. Jahrhunderts wäre Botticelli vielleicht immer noch dort, wo er für gut dreihundert Jahre war: in der Versenkung. Nachdem der Florentiner Renaissance-Maler gegen Mitbewerber am Markt wie Michelangelo, Raffael und Leonardo mit seiner Malerei, der das berühmte Sfumato und die Tiefenwirkung fehlten, schon zu Lebzeiten das Nachsehen gehabt hatte, war er nach seinem Tode rasch vergessen worden. Sein Comeback im 19. Jahrhundert geriet dafür umso furioser. Es entstand ein wahrer Botticelli-Kult,und immer neue Künstlergenerationen ließen sich durch das Werk des Altmeisters inspirieren.
Heutzutage gilt Botticelli als herausragender Vertreter der Florentiner Frührenaissance. Seine säkularen Werke Die Geburt der Venus und Der Frühling, das meist als Allegorie des Frühlings gedeutet wird, gehören zu den Gemälden mit dem höchsten Wiedererkennungswert weltweit – prachtvoll in ihren grazilen Feinheiten, ihren anmutigen Linien und ihrer kompositorischen Ausgewogenheit. Seine Arrangements sind flüssig und dennoch im Gleichgewicht, seine Figuren abgeklärt und sinnlich zugleich. Vor allem seine Venus wurde zu einer Schönheitsikone der Kunst-, aber auch der Pop-Geschichte: mit fahlem Teint und zarten Zügen, weich und fruchtbarkeitsverheißend.
Dieser Band stellt Schlüsselwerke aus Botticellis Œeuvre vor, um die Entstehung dieser Legende des Rinascimento verständlich zu machen, die Künstler von Edgar Degas bis Andy Warhol, von René Magritte bis Cindy Sherman inspiriert hat.

Hardback. Zustand: New. With the patronage of the powerful Medici family, a canon of secular and religious work, and contributions to the celebrated Sistine Chapel, Sandro Botticelli (1444/45-1510) was well placed for fame. After his death, however, his work was eclipsed for some four hundred years. It wasn't until the 19th century that the painter began to gain major art-historical recognition. Today, Botticelli is hailed as a towering figure of the Florentine Early Renaissance. His secular works The Birth of Venus and Primavera, mostly read as an allegory of Spring, are among the most recognized paintings in the world, resplendent in their delicate details, graceful lines, and compositional balance. His arrangements are fluid yet poised, his figures serene yet sensual. Venus, in particular, is held up as art-historical icon of beauty: pale-skinned, delicately featured, soft with fecund promise. This essential introduction presents key works from Botticelli's oeuvre to understand the making of a Renaissance legend. Through the painter's most famous mythological and allegorical scenes, as well as his radiant religious works, we explore a mastery of figuration, movement, and line, which has gone on to inspire artists from Edgar Degas to Andy Warhol, René Magritte to Cindy Sherman.
