The Botticelli Renaissance

2 October, 2015

The Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli is celebrated as one of the most important painters of the Italian Renaissance. His paintings have been endlessly reproduced and interpreted.
The exhibition traces the fascinating history of these shifting appropriations and re-evaluations right up to the present and is the first to present the artist's work - a selection of more than fifty originals by Botticelli - in the context of these adaptations and interpretations in a wide range of media spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, fashion and design. Among the 150 works on display are numerous masterpieces by artists such as Edgar Degas, Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
This exhibit is being held at the Gemäldegalerie - Matthäikirchplatz 10785 Berlin, Germany from September 2, 2015 – January 1, 2016. For more information on this and other events, please click here.
