Descripción

This is a revised edition of the author's 1985 study, now out of print, which has been republished in response to the great interest of its subject matter, Botticelli, and of its critical approach, a humanistic analysis of the cultural contexts of Renaissance painting. Among the aspects discussed are the artist's evolution, Medici patronage, Neoplatonism, and ways of interpreting mythology, allegory, and iconography in art.
