Botticelli: Minerva and Kentaur<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
With a selection of portraits, mythological allegories and depictions of the Virgin \u2013 altogether some eighty works by Botticelli, his workshop and his contemporaries \u2013 the St\u00e4del Museum presenting the first exhibition ever to be devoted to the oeuvre of this great Italian Renaissance master in German-speaking lands.<\/p>\n

Sandro Botticelli\u2019s painting has become a landmark of Italian Renaissance, and his monumental Idealized Portrait of a Lady (c. 1480) numbers among the St\u00e4del Museum\u2019s main works. The ideal beauty of his mythological figures and the elegant grace of his Virgin figures make his creations the epitome of Florentine painting in the Golden Age under Lorenzo the Magnificent\u2019s rule. It is less his masterful translation of Renaissance ideals which is the reason for the much-praised magic of his pictorial solutions, but rather the exceptional expressiveness of his figurative creations presenting their classically refined beauty in a solemn manner and with an often melancholy note.
