FROM THE PUBLISHER
Forgotten immediately after his death, Sandro Botticelli (1444/45-1510) was rediscovered in the 19th century by the pre-Raphaelites and now ranks among the greatest Renaissance artists. This Spanish-language book pays tribute to his captivating figures of women, his intimate portrayals of the Madonna and Child, and the angelic beauty of his adolescents - famous the world over today.
