Simonetta Vespucci - Real Faces - The Real Renaissance Venus - Sandro Botticelli

[@LS-gf9pg]

Simonetta was described as a young woman with blonde hair and green eyes. She was famous for her green eyes

[@that_thing_I_do]

Its a look a like but not a re-creation IMO...interesting exercise none the less

[@aitortxikilarranagacastle6904]

Fantastic!

[@ingridcassia]

She wasn’t redhead?

[@marthahari1328]

Light Red Hair and Green eyes

[@yourfunsister]

I don’t understand why you did not create her as a strawberry blonde with green eyes. Literally every painting of her is like that. It was one of the things that made her stand out.

[@mrsmucha]

What a wonderful video, to see Sandro Botticelli's face and his muse.

[@annjohnson6193]

Gorgeous woman even by today’s standards.

[@TeomanasAbramovas]

I felt like: She is more beautiful than sum of movie stars of present days.... What an amazing face...

[@felixcatus49]

Italian and European beauty!

[@julianaspector3391]

Impressive!!! My favorite video!

[@claudetebiasoli8630]

Wonderful images!

[@tamara3511]

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!

[@dinos9607]

Indeed a rare beauty. Great work Panagioti

[@dewrock2622]

Simonetta was amazingly beautiful, she had the perfect proporsions, such a sad ending..

[@ledues3336]

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

[@aldocuneo1140]

Mi dispiace Simonetta Cattaneo era di Spezia, della borgata di Cadimare-Fezzano.

Magical... in art we are ageless. We are gone but not lost, something of us lives on.

[@apostolia2124]

She's an all time beauty indeed!!! one can tell even from Botticelli's paintings.

[@anneb4160]

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.

[@patriziavalentini4055]

Grazie!

That, he did.

[@francescarando7884]

Botticelli ‘s grave site lies near Simonetta’s feet, as he had begged and obtained

[@warmsunflower8156]

Dying young immortalizes beauty. It's nice in a way, that people will always remember you as young and beautiful.

[@user-ru1ki]

Wonderful. Loved it.

[@tekannon7803]

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!

[@panagiotisconstantinou]

Merry Christmas mate!

[@gearrazkarraysgyfarnogod8554]

Understandable that Sandro Botticelli fell in love with her.

[@Perl_Kolesnikova1943]

This is one of the faces I was wishing to see... no doubt, she was a timeless beauty. Thanks Panagiotis! 👏👏

[@olispagna5170]

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

[@1murder99]

Your recreation of her does confirm that she was the most beautiful woman of her time.

[@simonettapolenghi1404]

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.

[@soularzensei1754]

Panagiotis probably falls in love with these beauty's as he creates them.

[@desmondgearrsbuijadalencon2851]

Couldn't blame him. At least not with 'la Bella Simonetta'.

[@richardque1036]

Supermodel of 13th century italy

[@jonathancummings6400]

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.

[@antoniospano8006]

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.

[@jonathancummings6400]

@@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".

[@jonathancummings6400]

"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.

[@LS-gf9pg]

@@jonathancummings6400 Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci was described with blonde hair and green eyes because that was her real aspect not a "flattering" depiction.

[@stigbergematthiesen9496]

Amazing. 👏

[@hollyw9566]

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.

[@kimphilby7999]

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 ☃️!!!

@@antoniospano8006 In some texts about Simonetta was mentioned thatb she was brown eyed. golden hair,white skin

[@416dl]

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.

[@ismayilarifoglu6226]

Thank you very much. Is Simonetta Vespucci somehow related to Amerigo Vespucci, explorer and merchant, after whom Americas were named?

[@jellyfish0311]

She was married to Amerigo's cousin Marco

[@Nighthawk799]

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!!!

[@philmann8]

Stunning !! Could you please make a video about Lorenzo Il Magnifico and Giuliano De Medici ? Thank you !! Your videos are amazing

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.

[@victorflores512]

Wasn’t she suposed to be green- eyed and light blonde- haired?

That’s what I’d thought too

[@zingarabeduina]

Surreal!

[@pedrogabriel3448]

Finally...

[@adamc1966]

So sad that she died so young.

[@panagiotisconstantinou]

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.

[@noradavid8275]

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 :)

[@MrJosealfonsoperez]

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)

[@ScarletVoodoo]

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.

[@patriciapalmer1377]

Botticelli was a hunk !! Who knew ?

[@renygma]

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.

[@LilLoo226]

She was Botticelli's muse and is in most of his paintings. Based on visual representations and written descriptions, she was fair in coloring -- light honey-colored hair and green eyes. It would've been wonderful to see that here. She also died very young, at about 22 years of age.

[@sgassocsg]

Magnificent. Why so many females with red Hair? Regal/noble Males also depicted with red hair. An artistic cult? Artistic style? Coincidence? Rarity appeal?

[@antoniospano8006]

Botticelli's Venus is described with blond hair and blue or green eyes.

[@harrypike5140]

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.

[@poppsych3288]

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.

[@thomasmacnamara6850]

I would love to see Margaret of Anjou. I am sure that would be interesting.

[@sandrar.focseneau4106]

The hair should have been lighter. She had long, blond hair.

[@francescarando7884]

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

[@CrisSelene]

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.

[@panagiotisconstantinou]

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.

[@AbelTravel]

Do you have a video showing what Lorenzo di Medici might look like?

[@alegeraci7643]

[@ainurabazekenova7336]

Beautiful woman, but i don't have a feeling of her exceptional beauty according to the paintings of Boticcelli.

[@ralphralpherson9441]

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!

[@dondragmer2412]

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.
