Sandro Botticelli's beautiful muse - Ep. 91

Florence: The city on the Arno. The cradle of the Renaissance, the city of the Medici.
Here ancient Greek classics were reborn after almost 2000 years: the art, the architecture and the philosophy.
From 1450 to 1550, the Florentine Republic became the unrivaled cultural metropolis in the world. Without the rich Medici merchant family, who were the city's most important patrons, this cultural heyday would not have been possible.
They promoted, among others, the unsteady Leonardo, the grumpy Michelangelo and the divine Raphael, but also the busy Sandro Botticelli, who like no other transformed the notes of human vanity into immortal art.
The Uffizi Gallery, the country's most important museum, houses two exceptional masterpieces by Sandro Botticelli that have become emblematic of Renaissance art. On the one hand the Primavera, this beguiling spring dance of bewitching graces.
The beautiful Simonetta Vespucci posed for the character of Flora. The then most beautiful woman Florence, who died at the age of only 23, was Botticelli's muse. The beautiful Florentine also embodied Venus in the mythological motif of the birth of Venus and thus became the radiant icon of an entire art epoch.
