Botticelli: The Curator's View

Botticelli’s signature style-including strong contours and transparent, flowing drapery-is instantly recognizable five centuries later. But what does it mean if the top artistic brand of 15th-century Florence was often produced by group of helpers in a workshop? And how did Botticelli fit into the rich artistic milieu of Renaissance Florence? Explore the creative process in a painter’s studio in the Italian Renaissance with curator of “Botticelli and the Search for the Divine,” and hear about the challenges of organizing an exhibition about such a familiar artist.

One of the best lecturers I've come across on You Tube.

fantastico!

Terrific presentation--love the humour here. This lecture would have been apex if, when alluding to Botticelli's style, the now-cliched buzz word 'brand' had been omitted. The man was a capital A Artist, and not churning out disegni for the lire.

Just couldn't resist taking a shot could you? A little bit of knowledge wielded intemperately makes you appear rather egregiously obnoxious . . . If that was your intention you succeeded magnificently.
