The Enduring Allure of Botticelli’s Art

The Enduring Allure of Botticelli’s Art

In this episode, we examine the lasting influence of one of the Renaissance’s most celebrated artists: Botticelli. Drawing from Botticelli Past and Present, edited by Ana Debenedetti and Caroline Elam, we trace his legacy across four centuries. We’ll discuss his techniques from the 15th century, the rediscovery of his genius in the 18th and 19th centuries, and his profound influence on contemporary art and design. This episode unpacks the scholarly debates surrounding Botticelli’s enduring fame and explores why his work continues to captivate audiences throughout history and into the present.
