Boticelli
The Life and Art of Sandro Botticelli
The age of the Renaissance in Italy was graced with many
extraordinary artists, one of which was the painter Sandro
Botticelli. He is believed to be born between the years 1444 and
1445 (there is no official birth date recorded), to Mariano
Filipepi of Florence, Italy. His surname was changed to
Botticelli because of the nickname ‘Il Botticello’ given to him
as a young boy, which means ‘Little Barrel.’(Ettlinger 7) …showed first 75 words of 2034 total…
