Simonetta was described as a young woman with blonde hair and green eyes. She was famous for her green eyes
Its a look a like but not a re-creation IMO...interesting exercise none the less
Fantastic!
She wasn’t redhead?
Light Red Hair and Green eyes
I felt like:
She is more beautiful than sum of movie stars of present days.... What an amazing face...
Gorgeous woman even by today’s standards.
Magical... in art we are ageless. We are gone but not lost, something of us lives on.
Italian and European beauty!
22...............so young. Such a shame but she never grew old. Beautiful woman.
Simonetta was amazingly beautiful, she had the perfect proporsions, such a sad ending..
She's an all time beauty indeed!!! one can tell even from Botticelli's paintings.
What a wonderful video, to see Sandro Botticelli's face and his muse.
Beautiful woman. Her portraits are gorgeous by today's standards.
I was deeply touched to see both Sandro and Simonetta come alive for just a moment. He is my favourite artist of all time! He not only captured her unique beauty and melancholy but also made his muse immortal through his art. I have been studying the Italian Renaissance, especially the history of Florence and the Medici family over the past few years and I’ve always wished to get a glimpse on how they possibly looked like in reality. So, thank you so much for making my wish come true and please keep up your great work!
My mother is from Genoa and my father is from Florence, I find it pretty neat how Simonetta was from Genoa and moved to Florence
Mi dispiace Simonetta Cattaneo era di Spezia, della borgata di Cadimare-Fezzano.
bellissima
This is one of the faces I was wishing to see... no doubt, she was a timeless beauty. Thanks Panagiotis! 👏👏
Thank you very much for another interesting video of the renaissance era in Italy. Simonetta was indeed very beautiful. Sad that she had to die so young. But Botticelli made her immortal.
Si
Grazie!
That, he did.
Botticelli ‘s grave site lies near Simonetta’s feet, as he had begged and obtained
Dying young immortalizes beauty. It's nice in a way, that people will always remember you as young and beautiful.
Wonderful. Loved it.
Great great great!!
My god.i fell in love. Congratulations for your work.
Bella la modella ma anche Sandro Botticelli era molto bello grazie ai video e alla tecnologia odierna e possibile fare questi miracoli bravo 🙂👍bel lavoro complimenti 👍
Your recreation of her does confirm that she was the most beautiful woman of her time.
Impressive!!! My favorite video!
Indeed a rare beauty. Great work Panagioti
Wonderful images!
Another great video; beautiful and expressive images. ❤
OMG!!! I just requested it 🥳💜 thank you
STUNNING!!
Panagiotis probably falls in love with these beauty's as he creates them.
Couldn't blame him. At least not with 'la Bella Simonetta'.
beauties
Excelente recreación¡¡¡ Un vistazo a personajes famosos del Renacimiento¡¡ Gracias
Thank you Panagiotis! Bellissima! What a wonderful video, it is emotionally engaging to see your videos. Splendid tribute to a woman who died young and became an eternal symbol of beauty thanks to Botticelli.
Every video of yours is magic & when Simonetta is smiling (4.40 until 5.20 on sound track) it is more magical to admire her beauty and much more when it is a Canon of beauty of the Italian revival. All in this work is exquisite. Thanks Sir
Thank you...
Supermodel of 13th century italy
Understandable that Sandro Botticelli fell in love with her.
Clearly, an incredible beauty. Then, this man's talent and understanding of the true appearance of Grecian and Italian people just creates the illusion of life. Impressive.
This time he was wrong, the Venus is described and portrayed with blond hair and blue or green eyes, although this woman is beautiful she does not look like Venus.
@@antoniospano8006 Of course not. It was always a good idea for an aspiring artist to flatter Nobility. Especially a lady of whom other Nobles considered beautiful. It's like good politics, if the artist makes a lot if such people happy, that is really good for both his business and reputation. Think about it, he's still famous today, largely due to his depiction of this young lady as his "Venus".
"Botticelli's Venus" his rendition as we see it now may have changed with the centuries. It might have had the colors of hair and eye both the young lady an Venus are reputed to possess, but things degrade and change over a 500 year period.
@@jonathancummings6400 Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci was described with blonde hair and green eyes because that was her real aspect not a "flattering" depiction.
Good work, Panagioti !
These videos are amazing. In addition to learning something new each time, it's fascinating to see what these historical figures looked like.
Pangiotis Canstantinou has touched my heart so many times with his vocasts that I've nowhere else to go in my mind but to the center of all that is culture from our past civlizations. Thank you Pangiotis and may I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year!
Merry Christmas mate!
She was born in my town La Spezia, her family name is Cattaneo.
Love this channel and great to hear about a piece of history I knew little about!
Amazing. 👏
Passed on at 22, that is sad.
Beautiful work!
Happy holidays Panagiotis.
Muito bom. Como sempre.
Wasn’t she suposed to be green- eyed and light blonde- haired?
Please please do this with the painting of Venus and Mars by Botticelli. It's my favorite. I'd love to see what the model for Mars looked like.
Марс - Джулиано Медичи 😍. Да.Было бы интересно.
22?!!! Taken so young.
Great work and great restoration of Simonetta's exquisite beauty.
Beauty and elegance,charm and femininity,glowing look and an alabaster body,what else,could ask for, Veronese,to create his masterpieces? All of these,can be clearly understood,by your excellent work Panagiotis. I wish you Merry Christmas ☃️!!!
This time he was wrong, the Venus is described and portrayed with blond hair and blue or green eyes, although this woman is beautiful she does not look like Venus.
How about Beatrice d'Este?
Apparently very beautiful, as well.
Absolutely magicsl the way you brought back to life! And Sandro Botticelli too was a very handome young man! What a pity she diedbso young ! I only wonder why you made her eyes brown when in the paintings look more a greenish hazelnut color....this video is magical! Thank you!! And Merry Christmas to you and to your beautiful family!!!
Venus’ big brown eyes remind me of the Ishtar/Aphrodite from your previous video. Nice continuity
This time he was wrong, the Venus is described and portrayed with blond hair and blue or green eyes, although this woman is beautiful she does not look like Venus.
botticelli's veneer, his muse was blonde with blue or green eyes.
@@antoniospano8006 In some texts about Simonetta was mentioned thatb she was brown eyed. golden hair,white skin
The show Medici on Netflix did a great job casting the actress they for Simonetta. Not so much when casting Botticelli. The actor looked nothing like the real Botticelli.
Please i want to see statue liberty EEUU, too
muy bueno, si el cabello tuviese movimiento seria perfecto
Your artistic interpretation has captured a wonderful rendition of Simonetta’s acclaimed beauty!
Stunning !! Could you please make a video about Lorenzo Il Magnifico and Giuliano De Medici ? Thank you !! Your videos are amazing
Sir, here the Latin phase ' Ars Longa, Vita
Brevis' fits in this video perfectly..
So sad that she died so young.
Or it was normal at that time, with a high mortality rate, as they had no effective medicine or doctors. A simple infection could kill.
Surreal!
My family claims that we are distantly related to Sandro though there is no evidence to substantiate it. Never the less I have to admit that I experience an almost intimate recognition in the faces he portrayed so beautifully and which you bring to life with such astonishing fidelity. Thank you for sharing your remarkable talent with us. Cheers.
Beautiful reconstruction - it would be nice to take the CBI process further to show more movement. This is wonderful
Thank you very much. Is Simonetta Vespucci somehow related to Amerigo Vespucci, explorer and merchant, after whom Americas were named?
She was married to Amerigo's cousin Marco
Finally...
These are great and I always enjoy watching them but you very often get the eyes wrong. You almost always go for a hooded lid when the original painting and/or sculpture will have protruding eyes with a noticeable crease in the lid. Such is the case with Botticelli. It's still very fine work, though. I'm just nitpicking because it could look more accurate with this one attention to detail, since the eyes are what we look at first on a person.
CAN YOu do Marie Antoinettes sisters?
That would be the 'Habsburg jaw'...with all that entails...
I am touched beyond words...!! Simonetta was a Great beauty and of course , amazing representation of Art genious Botticelli who was -apparently -in love with her in a platonic way . ♥️
Not necessarily "platonic"...
Botticelli was a hunk !! Who knew ?
So she is related to the explorer Amerigo Vespucci by marriage
I think she probably had a lighter complexion of Northern Italy, just like in the paintings. But I think is great to make them come alive :)
Was she related to the man after whom America was named viz Amerigo Vespucci?
Yes🙂
Simonetta,
por tu delicadeza
la tarde se hace lágrima,
funeral oración,
música detenida.
Simonetta Vespucci,
tienes el alma frágil
de virgen o de amante.
Ya Judith despeinada
o Venus húmeda
tienes el alma fina de mimbre
y la asustada inocencia
del soto de olivos.
Simonetta Vespucci,
por tus dos ojos verdes
Sandro Boticelli
te ha sacado del mar,
y por tus trenzas largas
y por tus largos muslos,
Simonetta Vespucci
que has nacido en Florencia.
(Antonio Colinas)
The hair should have been lighter. She had long, blond hair.
hola.. !! saludos desde Argentina... tendrías de Giovanni Boccaccio ?
Eagerly waiting for lorenzos face
Very beautiful. Mr Panagiotis Constantinou, maybe in the future you can also recreate a few portrais of christian (catholic, orthodox) saint women. Saint Philomena (she was greek), saint Therese of Lisieux, saint Faustina, even Mother of Jesus Mary... There are many pictures, it would be interesting to see what it recreates from them. If you can. And thank You for your work and beautiful recreations of historical people.
can u do herny viii six wives or his siblings and parents
Sure 😃 I could try.
ok thanks
I’m Italian. There’s a big mistake in your facial reconstruction of Simonetta ‘s. She was renowned for her beauty. But the best quality of it was the color of her hair: absolutely blond and not light brown. In particular, alt the time fair-haired people were extremely rare. in Italy. That added fascination to the beautiful, young lady. Lawrence the Magnificent baptized her as the Sans Pareil” the French for unparalleled.Last but not least, her eyes were blue as far as I know
She look like a pretty central italian women in our time
I wonder if you've smoothed her out a lot, and reduced/simplified the nose.
Amazing!!! Could you make Simon Bolivar and others latin american liberators please?
Magnificent. Why so many females with red Hair? Regal/noble Males also depicted with red hair. An artistic cult? Artistic style? Coincidence? Rarity appeal?
Botticelli's Venus is described with blond hair and blue or green eyes.
I think red hair was more common in Europe back then, it's slowly being bred out due to recessive gene. In Tacitus' Germania he described the Germanic people as being "red haired" first and foremost. You don't see too many red haired Germans now...more so in the UK tbh. I also think red hair was always prized from an aesthetic perspective.
Italian Renaissance women knew how to color their hair blonde and reddish blonde with henna and other natural dye. But Simonetta was a natural blonde, I think, because she had light greenish eyes.
I would love to see Margaret of Anjou. I am sure that would be interesting.
Botticelli was as beautiful as Simonetta.
I had no idea she died so young. And the idea that there might have been a posthumous cultin her honor is kinda creepy. Nevermind that they paraded her throughout the city in her casket to admire her beauty in death. But, of course, we shouldn't apply our social norms to people living almost 600 years ago.
But it is still done today. If a super famous, head of state dies, he's paraded through the streets. I guess the idea is for the people to say goodbye.
Even in todays standards she would be considered gorgeous.
Great stuff.
Would you consider an episode on beautiful Ilaria del Carretto (how portraied on her funeral monument) and sculptor Iacopo della Quercia? Just in case don't forget Ilaria's dog. After Simonetta Ilaria is another artistic crush of mine.
Its kind of crazy to see these historical persona, until now lost to time, come "back to life" on the screen. I wonder how close the AI really got? Would Botticelli himself be amazed to see his own likeness alive on the screen? And was La Bella Simonetta accurately brought back to life for another generation of admirers 500 years after her untimely passing? She was a cutie, I understand Botticelli's infatuation! Maybe she was his "naughty night lover" ??? Those arranged marriages were not exactly known to be happy ones all the time!
❤
I would love to see Giuliano and Lorenzo de Medici
Nice music, initially. What is it?
Beautiful woman, but i don't have a feeling of her exceptional beauty according to the paintings of Boticcelli.
She's like a cross between Jenny Agutter and Jessica Alba.
She looks like Blake Lively
Do you have a video showing what Lorenzo di Medici might look like?
What is this music called, help, anyone know please ?
Yes. It is very nice.
She never grew old but it would have been nice if she had lived at least another ten years until her beauty would have just started to fade. Of course I really wish she had lived another 40 to 50 years. I think she would have looked lovely as an old woman too.
💔
What about Loretta Goggi?
She kind of looks like Nikki Taylor, the American supermodel
Sarah McLachlan also comes to mind
I wonder what happens to the jewelry that you see them wearing back then....lost in time i expect
Damn. Excuse me while I go invent a time machine...
