This episode explores the life and legacy of Sandro Botticelli, one of the most distinctive artists of the Italian Renaissance.

Topics: Botticelli, Renaissance Florence, Medici family, Italian art history, Sistine Chapel, virtual tour.

From his early training as a goldsmith to his artistic development under Fra Filippo Lippi, Botticelli’s journey reflects both technical mastery and creative individuality. You’ll learn how he rose quickly in Florence, gained the powerful patronage of the Medici, and even worked in Rome on the Sistine Chapel.

The episode also explores his later years—marked by hardship—and how his work faded from prominence before being rediscovered centuries later by the Pre-Raphaelites, restoring his place in art history.
