Botticelli at His Best
Alessandro Filipepi Botticelli, “Virgin and Child with an Angel,” 1475/85.
Egg Tempera on panel.
Art Institute of Chicago.
“Sandro Botticelli was one of the most renowned painters of late-15th-century Florence. . . . The tender embrace of mother and child and the Virgin’s wistful expression are typical of his lyrical manner. The sinuous contours and softly modeled flesh of the Art Institute’s picture represent Botticelli’s languorous mature style” (Permanent Collection Label).
